Roy, I agree that heat panels, heat tape and flourecent lights are safer, but I don't think they provide a hot enough basking spot for monitors or some other lizards.
Also putting lights inside the cage as was earlier mentioned, I only do with our tall monitor cages - safety of lights in a reptile cage is a whole other story.
A word of warning about heat pads. I know someone who used a commercial reptile heating pad inside their cage (I know lots of people who do). It is beleived, that the build up of heat over time caused the peat moss to start smoldering, then the cage to start smoldering, and it very nearly caught on fire.
I think it is time someone invented completely fire proof building materials, that would solve a lot of problems right there.
