Ceramic broke, flood light problem.

[MrBosc]

Hi all,

I have some 50w halogen flood bulbs that where meant for my new bigger viv. However my ceramic stopped working so I popped a halogen flood bulb in there, I'd say the bulb is around 5 - 6 inches above from his body. However not enough heat is being produced, I could lower the socket but I'd be worried in case he pulled the socket away from the wires leaving two live wires. At the moment I have a bulb protector cage, and I have just left the halogen flood bulb resting on the bottom of the bulb protector cage so it's closer to the substrate and so that it prevents him from pulling the socket away from the wires.

He needs more heat but I'm confused as to what's the best way to go?

Thanks All
