Updating the basking spot light?

Hello, so I'm thinking about changing the basking spot light to a better one.

This is one that I've been recommended:

I currently just have a 105 w general lightbulb from Asda (UK) but I think it is too much of a general heat that is making the cool side too hot! My setup is 4ft and I'm looking for a light that will create a more focused light on the basking spot, so that I can achieve the desired cool side temp of around 75-80 F.

Not sure of brand, but you can definitely use the PAR38 floods... excellent light source with bright light and durable build.

Thank you, I bought this lightbulb today and I'm rally happy with it! Attached it to my dimming thermostat and it has been working perfectly! :)

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
