My Stars love the ceramic heat bulbs. 60W only good for small terarium, go for the 100W they give nice even heat no other heat needed and in the open table case overheating is not possible. This statement is for British keepers, I would not use ceramic heater in Florida
I use one in home made lampholder

It is running for almost a year now non stop I do not know why people 'dislike'. Other ceramic lamp in ExoTerra wire lamp holder, running 24/7. Temperatures under the hottest spot directly under the lamp never exceed 32- 34C.
I put the hide next to the heating area so that one sleeping den has fairly warm temperature, I also have a cooler hiding place they visit when they need.
Tortoises love to make pads under dark hot spots. If the get too hot they always retreat to the cooler hide which is always available.
Small heat strip in sleeping area I also use for coldest weeks, maybe if you do not want to leave powerful heat lamp overnight when it is not needed.
