As keepers of forest species that typically avoid bright bulbs, has anyone ran across any heat or basking bulbs that put off low amounts of light that is more suited to their needs?

Forest tortoises don't need basking lamps.

If you want one anyway, get a flood bulb and run it on a rheostat to tune it to the intensity that you want.

I like that idea. But I'd modify it so that it can't get "bumped" and turn on full blast by accident
