some say, with good arguments, that 60 degrees is ok at nighttime... because temps fall that far for BD in the wild.
personally, i use under tank heaters to keep it near 75.
Infra red heaters are good for heat, but bad because the red light hinders the depth of sleep/rest BD's get because of their pineal eye.
the pineal eye detects light wavelengths that are both visible and invisible to the human eye... and does not turn off when the dragon is sleeping.
so while the night light will not be a "deal breaker" -- it can contribute to a less healthy/ideal health dragon.
Ceramic heat emitters are ideal, and can I believe be set to a thermostat as well... but that package is more pricey I think but apaprently great.
hope this helps!!

also some think lowering night time temps per season may help the dragon by establishing a sense of seasons.... but,,, i dont know much about this.
I agree with that. I have been using an under tank heater as well as a ceramic heat emitter. Kwayze will move to the cooler end of the terrarium if she thinks it is too hot.
I personally wouldn't advise a uth, che's are much better but either one should always be controlled by a thermostat. I use che's on my vivs, but I must say 62.5* is absolutely fine, I set mine to keep the temp at 60* overnight.
