    Oh you mean a Clamp Lamp Lol! That's good. Does it have a dimmer switch?

    If you get a 40 or 50 watt bulb the heat will be slightly higher and should be where you need it.

    If you can order a Fluker's 5.5 inch Clamp Lamp with dimmer you will be able to adjust the amount of light and heat produced by the bulb. These are the lamps that I use. They also make a 8.5 inch size.
