You can get this at lowes or home depot or on Amazon works like a champ just make sure to have a thermometer to check the temp under it to dial it in.

the lamp itself or the ambient temps in the enclosure?

The temp in the enclosure is 78. The ambient temp. I guess that's where everyone is suggesting foil and stuff.

The temp in the enclosure is 78.

what's your target temp? is that measurement from under the lamp on substrate or the opposite side?

78° isn't bad.

Foil is to keep your humidity in. You might up your Che to a 75 or 100w

in my 20gal glass enclosure i use a 100 W CHE with a dimmer on the cool side which keeps everything around 80°.

you might need a higher watt bulb. check to see what wattage the dome your using is rated for; you might be able to just swap out bulbs.

100W is what it can hold up too.

100W is what it can hold up too.

then you can get a 100 W bulb and that will definitely get warmer.
