It took me a good few weeks to get it right! Don't get too much information from the large pet stores. The information that they gave me was somewhat right but mostly wrong. I have learned so much from this site. I'm sure I have it right now and my dragons are very happy and healthy.
It doesn't give off any heat. You are making a 4 ft. wide enclosure, right? I would go with the 36" tube. You can get a fixture for it at the hardware store; there is no need to buy a fancy one from the pet store. Just check to make sure it's already wired.
You are going to have a basking light and a CHE right? This may be enough heat. Trial and error will be the only way to be sure. You can use a higher wattage basking bulb if you need more heat, and if you really need to, you can add another basking-type bulb. But, you can use a regular household bulb for this. You don't need to spend a crap load on 'basking bulbs' from the pet store. As long as they are white light..

Sorry, but I have no idea. I used it as a summer bulb for my Ball Python and I don't have the box. On the bulb it says
"ZooMed
Item #HB-50
50 Watt
120 volt"
I will hook everything up a few weeks before I get him and then I'll see if I need a higher wattage.
