since your from the UK try to get the arcadia 12% its the best one over there next to the reptiSUN 10.0...the reptiglo you have doesnt put out enough UVB nor is it a good bulb to begin with...your heat light can come in the form of any light such as a reptile bulb, household incandescent or a flood light and your temperatures should be a little higher for the basking spot like around 110-115 F...how are you measuring your temps by the way? if its not with an infrared temp gun or a digital thermometer with a probe on the surface your temps can be wayy off...your lights should go on at the same time every day for about 14 hours on and 10 off...take a look at the caresheet for more help

u shud only have 2 lights....1 heat and one UVB in the form of a tube...the thermometer seems ok as long as its touching the surface of the basking spot and as long as your temps hit 110-115 you should be fine
