I would think a UVA bulb, like a repti-sun would be necessary. I don't know the details with the UV-Heat bulb you mention, though. The proper UVA and UVB are eneded, not for brightness, but for the uro's ability to digest and convert food properly.
You're heating issue brings back my earlier posted point of taller tanks. The taller it is, the harder it is to get temps up, unless you drop the light down inside.

>>I have a 48 X 24 X 30 aquarium with 2X250 watt clear infared heaters and an active UV-Heat bulb which brings the enclosure up to the required temps. I was wondering if I should be adding a heatless light source such as a self-ballasted flourescent to brighten the cage or if uros will thrive in an environment where the lighting is dimmer than natural sunlight
