Stick with CHE, only way to get proper temps easy.
CHE can reach 400+f and easily maintain your 130F+ basking spot.
Ive had a different experience. I bought a 150 watt CHE and let it run for like 5 hours and it did no better than the 150 watt sun glo bulb I already had.
Thats why i picked up a infrared because ive had 2 CHE's now that dont work :l
