or would i be best going separate basking and UV lights, and if so which ones?

any help is much appreciated
You could look into the outdoor security lights without PIR that a lot of people use now. (120w, obvs need a thermostat). I believe they give a much wider basking area.

Wigwam man on here showed his cold frames a while back & he was using them & showing how. Obviously you would then need separate UV. I believe T5 are the best
