How old is Scarlet? She is just now going into brumation? That is odd. Usually they go in earlier than this.
What is your UVB lighting like, what type & brand do you use? Is it a flourescent tube bulb or a compact or coil light?
For now, you can turn off the UVB light & leave the basking light on if you want to. She may come out in a bit, you just never know. They all do different things.
Is she healthy enough to brumate?

Did she go into brumation on her own, or did you dim the lights after she went into her cave? At 6 months that is fairly young to be going into brumation, but some do. Her weight is not too bad but you will need to watch & make sure she is not losing any weight as she still needs to grow some.
Brumation varies greatly from dragon to dragon. She could come out in a few days or a few weeks, it really is hard to know.
If you are feeding her, then you need to bring her out of brumation & increase her basking to 95-110. It is not recommended to feed them during brumation especially with lower temps such as what you have her at. She wont be able to digest her food properly & that will cause health problems.
