This is my 1st bonsai. I got it 3weeks ago and the leaves are continously turning yellow and then dark drown(like it's burn).
Recently I changed the soil from Clay to a fukien specific draining soil. Also due to limited light I am use a UV lamp for 10hrs a day. Please help

Hello. It is dying.

Sorry, there is no such a thing as a "Fukien specific soil".
There is bonsai soil, free draining and aerated.

Naba, a picture or two would help a lot.
Your Fukien should be outside. Trees belong outdoors. An UV lamp will not be sufficient for the tree needs.

That's not so bad after all and the soil looks ok.
Old leaves turn yellow, brown and die in a natural process.
Let it rest and water correctly.
