My enclosures are only small, 1000Lx 600Dx 550H mm so the 40w panels do fine, if i were going much bigger in the enclosure size i would go for the 80w panel, it's better to have a little bit of redundency in such an important piece of equipment IMO. Its so good not to have a enclosure full of bulbs and light cages, even running flat out without a stat i can still quite comfortably put my hand on the panel. Another advantage of them is that they can heat both side of a shelf, mine are mounted under a 18mm melamine shelf and the top side of this gets to around 35-36 degrees, the snakes seem to enjoy short periods of time basking on the hot surface.
