I've got 250 watt ceramics in mine as I struggled to get the temps right with a 150. If you struggle to find a big enough guard for them then Reptiles-Inc does them & they're quality, just send him a pm on the dark side.

Also the 250 will work at a lower % of its maximum than the 150 and hence should last longer.
