CFL bulbs for basking?

[trickshot]

I recently bought the bulbs pictured to use as basking bulbs for our new beardie. I tried to do some searching on using CFL bulbs for basking, but wasn't able to find anything. I do know that the bulbs fit within the kelvin units that the care sheet recommends. Are these okay to use? Help!

They are OK for light, but they won't give of much if any heat.

I agree. You'll want a halogen flood light with a nice wide beam to provide adequate basking temps across a nice wide area. A PAR38 or BR40 should work nicely but you'll need to play around with wattages to get the temps just right.

Can I use the CFL with a CHE pointed at the same spot? I've got a 100W CHE to use.
