Temps are affected by any lightbulbs or light assemblies, example I had a flourescent assembly in Sobeks one cage that was a small assembly on a timer for ambient light in the cage other than basking light, she used to sleep as a hatchling on that light assembly, I took a guess and measured the surface temp of that light it was 122f, that tells me it was a heat source on the surface and common sense a heat source for the air (ambient), if removed it would affect the ambient temps. My ackie has one light inside of his cage period and an 11 watt twist tube flourescent bulb hanging over the cage for ambient light, no heat to affect it, he does great in the cage in fact eats a few hundred crickets a week not including lobster roaches. I dont know what temps your cage has but my ackies cage has a 188-200f basking spot, depends how much digging he does under it.
