We just got 2 t-rex's and two reptile hangers to adjust the height of the t-rex's. I wanted to get the Mega ray but everyone is saying it's backordered and I felt we needed it sooner. Anyway, we don't need an additional bulb as sometimes during the day the basking spot has gotten to 102, which Zoom doesn't seem to like very much. I saw her in the cool side one day and noticed the basking spot was 101, then a few minutes later it was 102. When we raised the hanger it lowered to just under 100 and she went back to her basking spot. We live in a hotter part of the country than Diane does and we are a little concerned that her tank will get too hot in the really hot part of the day, that's why we got the hangers.
So far, tho, both beardies have gotten a lot more active since using the t-rex. It did take about 24 hours for them to get used to having it on in their viv's. Since the 2nd day we had it on in Speedy's viv, she's been up and basking by 6:15am (light goes on at 6:00 am) where as before she wouldn't be ready to get out of her bed much before 8am. Zoom is the same way but she doesn't come out by her self (my spoiled little princess), her head does raise up earlier and she seems to want me to get her out of her bed earlier. I think you will have a good result with the t-rex.
I hope this helps a little.
