Proper Lighting; Bulb not warm enough

Not open for further replies.
Hello, recently I bought this bulb (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Philips-90-Watt-Equivalent-Halogen-PAR38-Dimmable-Indoor-Outdoor-Flood-Light-Bulb-2-Pack-429373/203231668) for my bearded dragon and it sucked A LOT. It wasn't even reaching 90 degrees at some points in his tank. So now I need to buy him a new one, but just to make sure, I want to get a second opinion. Here are the three bulbs I've found so far that might be suitable:

Information
Tank: 40 gal
Space between basking spot and light: 9-10 inches
Average temp in house: 65-70 degrees
Light fixture: Zilla heat lamp reflector dome (120 volts)

So what do you think? Would any of these lightbulbs be good for my beardie? If not, what do you reccomend?

That light seems like it may work, but the amount of lumens it possesses seems a bit low. Don't you need atleast 1000 or more lumens for a basking bulb? Or is that not the case?

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
