Those fixtures you linked to will make the light too close to your basking spot... You want the flat ceramic fixtures.

If you are going to build your enclosure, why not go taller? Adding 6" will allow you to use a flat ceramic fixture and have the bulb pointing straight down which is better for the Uro.

Also, if you are going to use sand down the road as a substrate, it will get in the sliders of the glass windows and its a pain in the butt to clean out and screeches worse then fingernails on a chalkboard. You might consider doing pull open front doors instead.
