At a foot away a 45W halogen will not burn a monitor. It becomes dangerous once your within 6 inches.

Banks of lites are to increase the area heated. One of the problems with monitors is, they do not know how to heat a small area then move to heat another, like many snakes do. If the area is small and they are on the cool side, they will often sit until they become burned.

Which means, you can have a great working setup, then winter sets in and drops the lower temps in the cage, but does not change the higher temps(basking area), this is a situation that can cause burns.

Cheers
