>>Im looking to put the heat on the sides of the enclosure to project inwards horizontally.
This is a question for Bob at Pro Products. I'd be concerned that heat would build up in one end of the panel and possible be dangerous or at least shorten the life of the panel. This is the same reason why you can't put them above screen. The screen reflects some of the rays back at the panel and reduces longevity. At least that's what I believe I've read.
I really like CHE's for basking lizards and think you should try to use them over panels. But they should not be used horizontally.
Another choice would be high wattage flood lamps shined through the side of the cage.
More info about the cages would be helpful.
