It depends on the size of the cage, I never use under 100w. Anything over 5 foot will need a 250w.

think i read that wrong, you want to know the max, not sure but im sure i read on an exo ceramic leaflet that it was 2ft- 3ft-4ft and 5ft as listed there.
would sound about right.
im useing a 40watt in a 2.2x15 and had to move the viv now the weathers dropped as it was on the outside wall and struggled. so im upgrading it to a 100w.
