Help on heating needed

Hi guys

i have a terrarium like this:

PHP Code:
___________
|__A____A__|
|                    |
|                    |
|                    |
|                    |
|                    |
|                    |
|                    |
------------------ 
the A's are lamps. Red heating lamps. These lamps give heat into my terrarium during the night (i also have 1 white lamp for during the day).
However, these "red" lamps give a little TOO much red light, which makes night nearly day because of the light.

Now i want to get a ceramic lamp from elstein or zoomed, but can you tell me how these "lamps" "send" their heat? (not sure how to call it in english, im dutch)

I mean, do they give heat all around the lamp or do they give heat like a spotlight, in a bundle downwards? Because if they give heat around it (like next to it, under it etc) then the area ABOVE my cage will be heated more than the cage itself... which shouldnt happen.

Can anyone help me? I have an chondro python which is stressed and the only reason i can come up with is the light during the night... (it wasnt stressed at all when i got it 4 weeks ago from the breeder. I give it as much rest as possible)
