EDIT 2: You should just use the heat mat all the time. The lamp sucks out humidity and works the same as the UTH. Be sure to use a red/black bulb instead of a white one if you keep using the lamp.
it isn't that simple, if the room temp is too low (below 75) an additional heat source will be necessary. UTH's are great, but in many cases are not a stand alone heat source.
