Hi,

I would replace the bulb with either a ceramic element or a red heat bulb.

There isn't really any advantage to providing a night time drop unless you are trying to bring large enough animals into breeding mode.

Most people find that lamps sap the humidity though so a UTH might be an idea if you are having problems with that.

What are you using to measure temp and humidity and where in the tank are you checking - I ask this because some people do not know the round dial types can be seriously inaccurate.
