Not enough heat?

Hey guys, my dragon hasn't been eating much lately and I've been trying to take things step by step to figure out what's going on. Dimensions: 36"L x 18"W x 18"H, and I am using a 150w basking bulb. I would have though it would be enough. I am using a digital stick on thermometer and it reads 92 degrees fareneheit just above the basking spot. I know it is close but maybe not hot enough still. Do you think a fault bulb could be a possibility? The thermometer is brand new. Any input at all would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thermometers with probes or temperature gun thermometers are more accurate. I've heard that stick on thermometers can be off by many degrees and so maybe the temperature is actually different than what the thermometer says it is.
I hope your Beardie starts eating soon.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
