>>Get the 150 watt halogen bulb and then get a lamp dimmer. Zoo Med sells a relatively cheap one that will work for up to a 150 watt bulb. I'll try to put a link to it.



I did forget to mention I do have a ZooMed dimmer on my light, but the caveat to that is when you dim the lamp to drop heat, you're also dropping light as well.



When I had the 150wt. bulb in there, I would drop the light down to adjust the heat, then Draconis would avoid the light altogether because he probably thought it was time to sleep again. Is there a 125wt. bulb available? It would be a good way to handle the situation.
