    So 186F is not that warm and that won't warm the enclosure very much at all like Carlos said.
    What you see below is a infra red image of the exo-terra CFL fixture measuring the hottest area of the CFL bulb.

    With that being said I also use three other heat generating devices to help keep the enclosure at a steady temp
    Since I keep my home around 75F during the sumer.
    Here is a image of the two repti therm deep dome fixtures that I have on top of the enclosure.
    they are much warmer than the CFL hood.

    One has a 75W ceramic heat element and the other has a 75W infra red lamp.
    I also have a zoomed min heat mat on a 1/4 thick pane of glass under the enclosure
    Idid that so the heat wouldn't be directly on the bottom glass of the enclosure
    so it won't burn my babies belly when he burrows into the substrate.
