For some reason I haven't looked into ceramic heat emitters until now. So for my bts cage I have a 100w red heat bulb, so a 100w ceramic heat emitter would be the same right? Also for my Tegu's enclosure I'm using a 160w full spectrum for daytime, but during the nights where I don't need a basking area, what wattage should I use to keep it at a good night temperature for a 7x3x3' enclosure? This would probably only be used in the winter (if not hibernating) to keep it around the low 80s in a room that can get down to 60? I'm thinking 125w maybe?

Any different things I need to do to use these properly compared to an infrared heat bulb?
