What`s the usual ambient temp in the room the enclosure`s in during the day and night throughout the year?

temps in the room are usualy around 50°/60°

try some 50w if your not already doing so a mate of mine has enclosures similar to your well insulated etc and he has to use tiny wattages if not they over heat...

Id also turn over the substrate to if you can be bothered itll heat up a bit faster that amount is a massive heat sink.
