Spot lights produce a very hot spot in a very tiny spot (an inch or so) which can be hot enough to burn the surface of wood (I tried this once, in my timors cage and luckily when I was learning how hot a 45 watt SPOT bulb was at almost 2 feet away, he avoided the hot area). Flood bulbs are what I use (45 watt halogen outdoor floods which produce a hot area at 18 inches or so that is 130 degrees as well as 6 or so inches wide). The temp on that surface from the spot light was over 160 degrees at 2 feet plus. Heat one side of the cage so the animal can escape the heat.
