I just have a layer of aluminum foil covering the light shroud vent. I'm glad you brought that up to me - now that I think about it, it would probably be a good idea to cover that vent with a layer of that foil insulation I have instead (the foil insulation is kind of like a sheet of bubble wrap, with a thick layer of aluminum foil on each side - works very well).
How is it that you got a 15x24, 110W panel for your Vision 632? When I called and gave the guy my information he recommended a 12x24", 88W panel. Do you have your cage in a particularly cooler room or something?
Thanks for the idea,

>>I just installed a 15x24 110w PP RHP in my Vision 632 today. I too want to boost basking surface temp by about 10-15 degrees. I was thinking of something similar in effect to what you accomplished. Perhaps building a wide box for him to lay on which would bring him up closer to the RHP to get him warmer. But you bring up a good point in stating that you would lose alot of conductive heat if the panel is flush to the ceiling. I will look into a similar design to the one you stated. I think its a great idea. What did you use to cover the huge vent on the light shroud?
