Its the larger viv in the range, so would a 150w infrared bulb be enough to heat it?

Cheers

Depends on viv size. Upto 3ft 100-150w should be ok. Above that 200-250w bulb or an AHS/reptile radiator would be more than sufficient

i have a 4ft viv heated with a 250w ceramic, i did try a 150w but it struggled to get to temp in the winter. i know its not ir like you are asking for but it might help in some way. if you use a higher wattage bulb it won't have to work as hard to reach temps
