How tall is your tank? I think a standard 55 gal aquarium is only 21" tall, but of course it could be anything these days. Zoo Med says that a Reptisun 10.0 has penetration to 20". The 10% vs. 7% vs. 5% is the amount of light rays put out that are in the UVB range. I wouldn't assume that a 7% would have deeper penetration than a Zoo Med 5.0 which they say is good to 12".

I hate laying things on screen tops. It's just such a hastle when you want to take her out. My glass terrariums are only 17" tall so I suspend all my stuff above it so i can remove the top easily. But I guess I don't have a better suggestion.

Think about getting the UVB bulb online. You will save a lot. petmountain.com has them for only 14.95. I just bought a case from them this week. If you need other stuff they have free shipping if you spend over $150.

If you buy a shop light, be sure you take out the lens so there is nothing but the screen between Bindy and the bulb.
