Just a heat pad under one end of the tank. No lights needed at all. And keep the heat pad on 24/7

The only reaason a light would be needed is if the leo wasn't in a room which would recieve a day/night cycle. Otherwise just use flexwatt or a uth hooked up to a thermostat 24/7. I don't do night drops, I feel they are rather pointless.
