in some places a 25 wat bulb will do fine. Wattage depends on so many variables that if you change one thing the whole heating will be messed up. Whater heats the hot side to 90 degrees and the cool side to 80 degrees is perfect. If you use a bulb use a red or blue buld so you can run it for 24 hours to provide a temp gradient and a night time temp drop good.
