I see a lot of people recommending high wattage bulbs (100-150 watts). Why not use a 40-65 watt bulb with a higher basking spot? I am able to get a 130-degree hot spot with a 65 watt bulb that is dimmed around 40%. I probably could get the same temps with a 40-watt bulb. Any reason why higher wattages are better?
