the deluxe clamp lamp is the exact one that I'm using right now. You need one clamp lamp for a uva (aka heat) bulb and a clamp lamp for UVB. Now I have a reptisun 5.0, and I think a lot of people here use that too. Which is extends past the end of the lamp so you'll need to have that one clamped for sure, but the heat lamp can be put directly on a wire lid because they're coated with a heat resistant coating. Sorry if the spelling is bad, I have a migraine.

You could get either one of those and they would work just fine. You could also get a clamp dome lamp from Home depot for $11. they're the same size and work exactly the same as the other ones. The workers know them as work lamps, so that's what you need to ask for if you can't find them on your own.

A regular house bulb will work just fine as a basking bulb. You might have to take a few days to figure out what wattage you need to get your temps right, but that's it.

I have Flukers porcelain based lamps.. I feel that they are safer. I mainly bought them because they go with the rest of my stuff on my tank and my room.
