Basking lights

[Kodos2150]

I have seen some people on here like to use halogen lights for basking. Right now i have a brooder lamp i picked up from home depot and it keeps my little veiled at a comfy 80-85 degrees in his basking spot. (he is about 6-7 months old now). What wattage and how far away from the basking spot are the halogen lights placed? What kind of temperatures can you get from the halogen lights?

I use a 45 watt. It really depends on how close your branch is or how high up you hang the light as far as what the temp will be at the basking spot.

how far is the light from the basking spot for you?
