i have mine on for around 10-12 a day. and over the basking spot is best.

so keep both of them on at the same time?

Yes, you are mimicking the sun... heat and light.... change the the red one for a normal household bulb.

A standard white bulb will encourage it to bask more, red bulbs are really only for nocturnal reptiles, which turtles aren't.
