Default Night lights?

Anyone use night lights for their nocturnals?
I bought a 15 watt exo terra, blue, moonlight bulb and was a bit disappointed. I exchanged it for a 25 watt and guess what? it is no brighter, but it has upped the temp which is no good!! By the time I get a bulb bright enough to 'view' at night, the temps are going to be higher than the bloody day temps!!
Anyone use a night time viewing bulb that allows you to actually 'see' your nocturnals but not raise the temp to unnatural levels?
Many thanks
Kirk

Are those LED lights? Guess they would not increase the temps too much!
What size viv do you use all four of those on?

They don't increase the temp, we have one above each shelf in the cabinets where we keep the spiders and one on the celing which gives enough light to see by. Hubby says they are between 2-4 watts, these are set on a timer
hope this is some help
