    It might depend on specifically what you're keeping (like a desert king as opposed to another type), but the ambient temps. in my house has rarely 'required' overhead heating- at the most, a daytime light (or CHE) that's dimmed & used seasonally. Mostly I rely on UTH- that's the best for kings or milks. You can always try a warming light during the day in winter- see how they feel about it. As the days get shorter & if there's a bit of chill, adding a dimmed light w/ warmth (by day) can improve their appetite -but it's not usually a problem anyway.
