Mine seem to prefer the cooler side. My gradients are a high of 88f low of 76f using RHP.

Try not too get hung up on temps mate, as long as you've a decent gradient they'll be fine.

I just thought it was weird is all, I lowered the hot side down to about 86 and sure enough she was out under her light this morning, I'm going to get a RHP for her next tank I'm going to build here very soon, I don't like heat lamps because they dry out the air to fast.

I won't use anything else now but RHP, the ambient temps are fantastic and my vivs are pretty large. Mine are only 65w too, not like the 150/200w ceramics I used to burn!

Yeah once you switch to RHP's, there's no going back! They work awesome! Especially for heating ambient air.
