incandescent light fixture, please help!

[UnaidedSoul]

I want to buy a temporary pre-built enclosure for my baby dragon until she gets bigger. I was thinking of getting this http://dragons4you.net/24x12x12w_slider.jpg but the incandescent light fixture that it comes with can only handle regular light bulbs. Can anyone recommend an incandescent light fixture that can support at least 50w spot bulbs. Thanks In Advance!

is there a reason you need one that has up to 50 watts? a reptisun 10 at 4' is 38 watts. I found a untili tech at Lowes double fixture 4' for $13 it says it should have 2 x32 watts I don't think 6 watts would make a difference. If someones an electrician and there should be a reason I should find something better please let me know (plan on only using 1 at a time). It did see the one I bought went on sale for cheaper but I would think Home depot or Lowes could let you know where to get something that would hold 50 watts. I would think something commercial grade would.

If you want to get that enclosure, then by all means get it.

Being 12"H, you have to take into account the distance from the bulb to the basking site. The bulb will only be 8-9" above the bottom of the enclosure, a 50 watt spotlight bulb, will make the bottom of the enclosure to hot, let alone adding something to bask on. Use a regular bulb, but have something to measure the temp.( Ir gun, thermometer) don't guess or assume, you don't want to cook your beardie or cause dehydration. You may have to get different watt bulbs to find the appropriate temps, look for 25, 30, or 35 watt bulbs, and take it from there. They do have 40 watt spotlight bulbs at Home Depot, they have other wattages available too, just make sure you find one that fits the socket in the enclosure. Cheers.
