Hi, most use a combined uv/heat bulb, 120w plus a holder, suspended at one end of the table, hot end. the other end has nothing cool end.
1 Uv strips not totaly up on them, but i am thinking quite high 20%, These are used in conjunction with a basking heat bulb.
2 The ceramic heaters are usually used with a thermostat for night time, winter, set so if the temps drop, say 18c. so it would be a compact uv, plus basking heat bulb
3 Again the ceramic would be used at night on a thermostat.
If you had a combined uv/heat bulb, and your night time temps would not fall more than 15c, there's no need for extra night heat.
