Would a 100w ceramic give more heat than a 100w infrared?? Cheers

are you sure its a pulse stat? it would be like a disco if it is dimmer stats should be used on a bulb that gives off light.

also my 3ft leopard gecko viv uses a 100w bulb and it reaches temps no problem

You must have something wrong somewhere, as I have used 100 watts in a 4x2x2 before and have reached 32 easy. Double check your thermometer probe position, also may have a dodgy thermometer.
