A good undertank heater should raise the surface temp of you substrate over 90F, not the air temp but the surface temp. That is all you need. You usually need to use a thermostat with UTH to keep the surface temp from gettting to hot.

I find a 40-watt light bulb to be sufficient, and not so bright as to cause concern about vision impairment. I don't even bother with expensive special-purpose bulbs for my 5 breeder tanks.
Seems to work just fine for these two:

any household bulb would do, don't waste money on those basking bulbs at the petstore. I find they burn out faster than a basic bulb you buy for a regular lamp. REgular household bulbs put out the same amount of heat as well.
