Please tell us the dimensions of the enclosure, and exactly what lights you are currently using.

If you have a single compact uvb light in that fixture I'd replace it for a single tubelight.
Them compact lights aren't ideal, especially not when placed in a vertical fixture.

It is a tube light. Its not turned on bc i took this once i finished last night. I am upgrading to a 34" once it comes in the mail.

In that case I would stick to the 1 and make sure it's around 8" from his baskingspot.

Why 8 inches, if you dont mind me asking?

Maybe I sould of been clearer to make sense... I meant spot where he basks, not the heatlamp.

Optimal distance from animal to uvb lamp is usually around 8" (20 cm).
You should check the packaging of the lamp, it may also tell lifespan of the optimal UVB productiom of the lamp.
