The light i have rite now is running a little low on his basking area. rite at about 98 i was wondering what would be a real good bulb to get so i can make sure she has her temp at atleast 110. I am using a 150 wat normal bulb now that came with my cage. What is a good brand that last long and that works good for what i need.

try flood lights. They have a broad beam (not spot) and create more heat.
Hallogen always makes for more heat.

those are both tight beam. They provide spot on direct heat. I prefer floods, with a wider beam of light.
like this:

good idea but my dragon is still a baby she is only like 7 inches long and is in a 15 gallon tank. i think i spot will be good for now and a flood for when she gets in her bigger tank.
