Need suggestions for redfoot lighting

[Jenkins42110]

My new table is going to be 3ft wide by 6ft long and 2ishft tall (closed chamber im going to use kilz and I think im going to use a 3 foot lighting fixture in the middle for uvb (and i would like to know if i can use a florescent tube in the other slot for the fixture or will it hurt her and how long it should be on for timer wise) and i was thinking of putting the daylight blue 150wt bulbs (my lights have a rheostat built in) or a hal bulbs (don't know what wattage) im not going to use mvb bulbs because my tort dose not bask that much (for that reason i use a tad more d3/calc) and i would also like to know what kind of nighttime heat you recommend

Hi I'm new here, Inherited a Yellow Foot
Prior to reading this, I had just determined that I will be building a 3x6 table. and light and heat are my concerns. Can you let me know what you ended up using. I see were you have a closed chamber, For humidity/heat reasons I was going some how enclose the hole thing. If you could post some pix of your project I would be very grateful.
Thank You

yeah Ceramic heat emiiters produce heat no light and my 48" fixture is only 1 lamp i got it off amazon

the normal household bulb is for a basking spot

and depending on the size of the yellowfoot 6x3 may not be enough

Thank You. The 6x3 is just for the cold weather, I have a large area out doors I'll be setting up for her were I hope she'll be right at home.
Again Thank You and I am very sorry for the improper Thread Etiquette.
