I'm trying to find the best products to use for my future tegu's enclosure and depending on which are best, that's how the layout will go.

For the PowerSun, they say it can "project up to several feet". So, if my tegu will be living in a 6-foot area, does that require only one 160-watt PowerSun at the basking area, angled towards the cool end, and that will provide enough UVB throughout the enclosure? Or will I need to mount two, one at each end, angled straight downwards? They produce heat, so I don't want the cool end to be too warm. How many watts would you suggest for a second basking bulb (infrared), along with the PowerSun, if mounted approximately 16" away to get the desired temp of 110F?

Sorry for all the clumped-together questions, guys. ^^;;
