Re:

I know that you posted this a long time ago, but I'll see if I could provide some input for future readers.

I use 3 light fixtures. On one side I have a MVB and a floodlight. On the other I have a regular house light. Surprisingly, yes, the temp gradient is perfect. The flood is wired to a dimmer. Without the dimmer, it was reaching temps of 130*F+ on the hot side (tested before anything was placed inside the cage) and literally melted my digital thermometer. Last temp read was 135 but like I said, it melted, so it could have gotten hotter, and this was only after 30 mins of being on.
