Basking spot question

I ordered a brand new basking dome/fixture and will be here in 2 days but in till then I am using a deep deep dome. My question is is that the temp slowly climbs to 95+ with a low watt bulb BUT if I put a high watt bulb it climbs up to 110+. My beardie in question seems to adore that high wattage bulb rather than the slow climbing wattage bulb. Is it ok to let her sit and bask under the higher wattage bulb and watch her to see her behavior even though it's HOT?

As I said i bought a brand new dome and new bulbs also that should do the job but won't be here till Sunday

During the day (winter) her enclosure is around 95+-105+ degrees and at night around 70-75 degrees with no heat

(She is almost 5 and both of my beardies are in brumation and hit or miss with eating)

As long as she bask, and as long as she has multiple levels she will pick what she likes best. They know better what they need than we do.

Ok as I said I have a new dome fixture coming Sunday

I normally put a towel over my beardies enclosures to keep them warm at night and to keep dust/light out. I was able to get the temp under 110 by removing the towels so I'm going to try a light fleece blanket/cloth. Something light and not thick so it can let heat escape during the day then cover them at night like usual

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
