Yes, I have two fixtures in the cage. On runs 24/7 to maintain ambient temps for night, and the other comes on during the day to increase the ambient temps during the day.

If you have the proper temps and you dont want to do a night drop then I would suggest using a night bulb 24/7 and either natural light from a window or a flourescent light to create a photo period. UV light is not needed by RTB but can be used to create a light cycle and not effect the temperatures.
However if you want a night drop then just use a slightly lower wattage bulb for night time.

Here is a picture where you can see my heating setup of my most recent cage. Hope this helps.
