The Reptisun 5 is a bit stronger than the Reptiglo 5. The Repti Basking Spot Lamp seems a bit strong, you might need to get the lower wattage version and be prepared to adjust it's distance.

Basking spot bulbs are worthless and a waste of money in my opinion a regular house bulb 50-75 watt is fine and does the job well.
