Grow Light/Basking Light?

[Chameleon Mike]

I was just wondering can you use a 60 watt GE grow light as a baking light? I know that you can use a regular bulb as a baking light but I plan on getting a grow light and was wondering if they put out enough heat to use as a basking light as well. I'm guessing they don't but I thought I'd ask. I know most grow lights are LED and they don't give off enough heat. I'm just upgrading my enclosures and plan on going bioactive soon so just getting some input.

I have used grow lights as basking lights, infact, I think some of mine right now are. I use a jungledawn led for my females basking. Gives off just enough at close distance. Noticed my chams love basking under the jungledawns for some reason.

Great thanks. I'll have to look into them.

Doesn't make the best basking light for anything that needs temps above mid 80s. Youd have to have it practically touching the chameleon. But it's purpose is to be a badass grow light which it does better than anything I've used. My plants grow 10x faster and more colorful than they did with anything else.

I don't need a lot of heat for my guys so I use the incandescent plant light for heat. Summer I use a 40 watt and winter a 60.
