Your favorite basking bulb

[Calypso]

So I've used a Powersun in the past, but it seems too bright. Especially with my guy only being about 5 months right now. I've been using extra soft 75w day bulbs. Have had good results, but now the temps are quite as good.

Wondering what all y'all have used and seem to like the best?

I use a household bulb 40 to 60 watt depending on which gets to the appropriate temperature.

I don't like these rather "fancy" expensive and fragile bulbs for basking especially when an ordinary, inexpensive halogen porch spot or floodlight will do the same job for a long long time in combination with a linear UV fluorescent.
