I use on for my caiman lizard at night, but leave it on 24/7. For my 4x2x2 I currently use a 75w CHE. The problem is they do not throw off heat like a light bulb, they just heat the air really. I would never use them for creating a basking spot more so just to take the chill off an enclosure. I would say it warms the cage about 10 degrees about what the room temp is at night.

My opinion they are great for smaller cages but I am looking into radiant heat panels this winter for my tegus. They use less wattage but distribute heat better across a cage.
