A clamp lamp with a normal basking bulb above 100w would be ok i think, the clamp will allow you to adjust to get the temps right, 30c to 32c, hot spot.
As alway's i advise the use of a digital thermometer, to read these temps correct.

Clamp lamps will clamp to your post so i would go with them
I would also go with a 100w bulb with a thermostat to control temperature, I sell them all in my shop
