I use radiant heat panels exclusively, and I love them.

There is a small one (6 x 12" that is just right for a 10-gallon tank. You attach it to the underside of the screen, radiating downward.

Call Bob at Pro Products and tell him what kind of enclosure you're using. He'll make sure you get the right panel.

Radiant heat panels can't be beat. No light, just uniform heat. And unlike heat mats or Flex-Watt, radiant heat panels warm the air in the cage as well as provide great basking heat.
