Could be if at right distance.
First you need a good and accurate thermometer to read basking area. I found IR type very accurate ! I have a draw full of other all with different readings , even digital not accurate.
That's a baby you have , it needs water at 80* and basking area at 90* !
Second is the bulb an incandescent type ? If so take a temp reading on the basking platform , see if you have to lower bulb or raise it to read 90* Don't get too close , 8" lowest I would go , if you can not achieve 90* on basking area use a 50-60 watt "flood" type and start over on readings. Never use a "spot" light puts to much light and heat in a small area !
Here's a good read :
