I have my lights on a timer. 8 hours of day time lighting then it turns the night time lights on. These can cost from $20 to $30. Even higher for more advanced units. You can use an extra heat pad of the same size as what you are using. They don't create as much heat as a light but will atleast keep it no lower than 75 at night depending on the ambient air temp within the room your frog is in. Its and either or situation. If you want to keep them warm without removing humidity while you sleep you can use your lamp with a ceramic heat emitter. 50 watts and no higher. An extra heat pad will also not remove humidity. They can see in the dark so they don't need visible light unless you wat it for night time viewing. For night time warmth and for your viewing pleasure use infrared bulbs or Night Glo by Exo Terra. Night Glo is a blue night bulb that is meant to simulate moon light. Neither will affect your frogs night time cycle. They will burn off humidity though. The choice is up to you.
