The spot lights are Halogen. They give off a bright light and much more heat than incandescent bulbs. I use (1) 75W or 90W halogen in each of our enclosures. That gives me a 100-110 degree hot spot.RehabRalphy said:ierowe said:How many heat lamps should I have for a 8' wide by 3' deep by 30" tall cage? Someone told me 3 90w ceramic is what I would need.

Try a spot light for outside floods. IT MUST BE ON A DIMMER! Be careful, they'll reach 120*F+. Takes 1 to heat my 8'x4'x4'
EDIT: On second thought, if its only 30" tall, that light will burn your lizards.
