Basking Light Help Needed

[Snakecatcher]

Newbie here.

I'm trying to buy a basking light, and I'm not sure how to make sure I buy a bulb and a compatible dome fixture. What fixtures/bulbs do you guys use?

I like the Exo terra bulbs, most of mine are 75watt they last a long time and give off great heat.

As far as fixtures a nice one will help your light last longer and focus the heat down. I have used the 8.5" dome lights for years but I have changed to the 5" National Geopraphic lights from petsmart they work very nice and really focus the heat on to the basking spot.

Zoomed combo dome at the moment. I've been using a 100 watt zoomed spot light. Perfect temps. I messed around with halogens but they fluctuated too much. Never could dial in temps as well as incandescent. Hope this helps.
