Four inches is way too close. If you can't raise it up higher, move your bin further away from the light (ie. Move it to the side), it's not ideal, but if you're actually getting 60C in the enclosure, you're creating dangerous conditions for your tortoise.

i see. i'll try to move the bin more to the side to see how it works. with the current set up, the darker ends has only about 30c. if it still too hot then i'll have to change the bulb back to ceramic heat emitter and gets his uvb from the sun.
