    can i use a infrared heat spot lamp 50W aswell

    What are your units for measuring? That sounds extremely large even for centimetres. If your enclosure is truly really large you might be best off with 2 of those heat lamps on either side of the middle section of the enclosure.

    Your heat mat sounds fine, just make sure to use a temperature controller with it.

    For my enclosure I use a heat mat for my hot spot, and then use a 60 watt heat bulb to maintain ambient temps at 27 degrees Celsius(80 Fahrenheit) during the fall and winter season. During the summer my ambient temps are naturally around 26-28 degrees.

    So depending on how large your enclosure actually is, it’ll change what type of watt you use and how many bulbs you’ll have to use. I use a 60 watt to maintain ambient temps and I have a ~35 gallon enclosure.
