Thanks for the input ppl. I agree with wattage too high, that's why i asked tyo get your guys advice.
I have made some changes to the setup I might go with somewhat. Lowered the wattage of the ceramic, removed the Oz bright and will prob just have a Sun Glo for some lighting.
Had some high wattage as am in Sydney and it gets pretty cold in my place here at night in winter, but plenty warm in summer. Also want a 4ft high enclosure and figured would need a bit to keep the lower end reasonable warm.

Wasn't going to have the bulb on a stat - just the Ceramic, on a DL2ME, just researching if I need the temp drop at night from the 'ME' bit, or just constant temp 24hr - would like to have a heat cycle based on day/night, only a small drop but keep it natural.

Was only going to have the night light on a timer for a few hours after killing the main light so can see some night activity, say timed to go off around midnight or so.
With the main light on a timer for 12-14 hours a day.

But like I said i guess it would be best to just see what wattage I need to heat the specific enclosure I end up with, but thanks anyway ppl.
