Panels are the way to regardless of which one suits your needs.
Maybe that is who I was thinking of when I put J-A-X , not 100% sure.
Some surface temps for reference - on top of tile =31 C; branch 15-18 cm below = 24-25 C
She was hanging out below the panel last night in hunting mode, but is now warming up for the day on the tile.

I do something like this too and the snakes are doing very very well, I NOT an expert, but this works for me.I do use heat cords but pythonmum has a lot more data re the temps. Mine all sit around 33c on top
I use only cords, I gave up in globes, they failed too often for my liking.
I've got 6 Morelia spilota all heated this way, I'm unconventional in the fact I give them a warm (not hot) spot to bask if they like. I don't worry about gradients and my only concern is that they can get ambient room temp area if they choose. And they often like to pick what some would describe as the icy cold end of the enclosure.
5 of my enclosures are 1200mm long x 600 high (Darwin's) while my coastal has a massive enclosure of 1200 wide x 1800 high. All are thriving, no signs of RI and no snappy animals despite their infrequent handling.
While my methods are not conventional they work for me
