Ceramic Heat Emitter Housing?

[Lokiza]

I'm planning on buying a 40-60w CHE for my 40-gallon tank...what dome would be best for this? My other beardie has a CHE and dome (that was given to me by his previous owners, hense why I don't have the packaging or anything for the dome) and I think the dome is "Fluker's 5.5 Clamp Lamp with Dimmer" - would this be okay?

The dome should have a warning label on the inside as to what wattage bulbs can be put in, so take a peak. The dimmer switch shouldn't be a bother as that's what mine have. I just turn off the basking lights at night, let them cool, and take the lights out and put the CHE's in.

Any dome with a ceramic socket is ok for a CHE. CHEs as another kind of lightbulb. As long as the wattage requirements correlate, then you are good to go!
