Default Lighting - how

I have two Leos ( in seperate vivs ), they already have heat mats, but I am wanting add some lights to their vivs ( mainly for nighttime viewing, but also for some extra heat...this house gets bloody cold!)

I need to know whats the easiest way of doing it? Lily has got a tradtional wooden viv, so I assume that I can just screw a light holder thing into it, and all fine and dandy. Ludo is in a Komodo (glass) viv, so im a bit confuzzled as to how I can provide a light in there for him (top is plastic)

where can I get the attachments from, and what wattage would I need? If the light is just the purposes that I describe above, then does it need to be statted too?

Im also considering a UV light for them both, again, same q..how to put on in for Ludo ( i know they arent essential for Leos...but just for my own piece of mind )

thanks for any replies

if your going to use a light for night time viewing it should be no more than a few red leds tbh the night glo bulbs arent that bad but theyre better of without them (or hardly any light tbf)

on the case of uv i see no problem in givving them uv however id used something like a 5% or 2 % as they wont be used to it not to say a 10% or 12% wont be better also what morph are they as i wouldnt use uv with albinos etc
