Default What should I use?

I need to keep my torts enclosure at bit warmer than it is at the moment and a bit brighter.
At the moment they have a 160 watt arcadia combined bulb which is great for the 32-34c temp they like.
One side of the enclosure is a bit dark and needs warming slightly so I have a ordinary 60watt bulb pointing in that direction. ( they seem to like it better)
Is there anything else I could use instead of the 60watt bulb that would brighten it up a bit more? I don't know anything about the strip lights or how they fit on etc. Do they give out a bit of heat aswell?

At night I'm using a infa red 60 watt bulb which is directed at their sleeping quarters. It seems to keep a temp of 15-18c ( I know that because I was up and down all night checking the temps, lol )


Thanks x
