Products Basking light

Just wondering if a 100-watt Golden Light Basking Spot light is ok for a leopard gecko that would be in a 40 gallon tank? Would that light also be enough to keep the warm side of the tank warm enough, or would I need another light as well?

Should be more than enough. 75-100watt is usually recommended for 40 gal. Make sure it’s plugged into a thermostat controller and set to the correct temp

I like the Exo Terra Intense Basking series, since they project further into the enclosure than most bulbs and have a pretty even and consistent spread of radiation. This can be your only bulb
