We use both the Powersun bulb (160 watt) and the zoo-med 24" Reptisun 5.0 bulbs. (2 different cages)
Baby has the Powersun right now and I've only had it for about 2-3 months but am very pleased with his progress. Abner (our rescue) has two of the zoo-med Reptisun 5.0 and he's starting his second shed and fattening up quite nicely.
At night we use black light bulbs (75 watts at Lowe's for about $4.50)but most people would tell you not to use this method because of the light they emit and to use either a radient heat panel or a ceramic heat emitter. My igs sleep just fine with the bulbs but I may try something new when the weather cools again this fall. J
