need help figuring somethin out

I have a black phosphorus light I use to warm the 10 gallon tank I own. Evidently, its gettin his hide too hot because sometimes the probe in his heat side hide reads 90 and up

The temp needs to be 90ish,so is that your question? What is the exact temp reading at?

Is the probe setting on top of a heat matt also? That temp sounds really high.I would like to know what is the wattage of the bulb?

ok so you have the probe setting on top of a heat pad plus this light over head? If so turn that light off as the heat matt should provide enough heat.
