i was advised my torts live outside, just to use a normal spotlight for basking , which only goes on for an hour each morning to warm them up before going out into the pen,
on a cold rainy day, i do put it on for longer

i have background heating in the 5ftx3.5ft shed which will be used when it gets colder.

i do not have uvb lighting in the shed as advised as they live outside and get all they need from proper light.
