Hey people,

So I currently have a 60 watt CHE for my ambient temps. I know I need a stronger bulb because my room gets quite cold at night and I wake up to find my ambient at 70 degrees. The che is hovering directly above the lid. Going to opt for a 100 watt with a dimmer switch. Basking spot is a uth with a thermostat.

Currently I have no Hole for the bulb and im just pointing the heater directly at the black lid. I do not want to have to cut a hole in the lid.


Do you think 100 watt CHE with a dimmer will be enough to heat my tub through the black lid?

Thanks in advance guys
