Hi there. The T5 is great and you won't need another uv source if it's set up right. I suggest get the T5 kit and replace the combi lamp with a halogen of suitable wattage. Something like an 80 watt par 38 with E27 fitting. I buy batches of 6 Crompton lamps which work out about 5 quid each. Try to get the wide angle beam as the really narrow angle ones might only heat up part of your tortoise. Let us know how you get on!
