Don't go by wattage alone. Check the temp with a thermometer to see if it's 88-90F. Use whatever wattage will get it in that range. Adjust the distance of the light from the basking area if necessary, but check the temp with a thermometer (put it on an object the height of your turtle on the spot where he would bask and leave it there for about 20 min.).
