Infrared Basking Light for Day Gecko

[Raging_Crocodile]

Can infrared bulbs be used as a source of heat for day geckos? I was looking at the Infrared spot lamps by exo terra. Also, how many watts should the bulb be?

They do provide heat, but I don't know how much light they provide and I'm not sure how important that is for the day gecko. I'm not sure of the wattage.

I didn't think the amount of light they give off maters as long as i have a uvb bulb.

You may be right. The question is whether their preference is for basking in heat or light (and whether it matters whether they get heat or light)
