Wellington pretty much hit it on the head. Here are my recommendations based on price and personal use (as in, this what I actually use):

Get two of these: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Bayco-10.5-Brooder-Clamp-Light/14003468
They also have them at lowes and Home Depot. Just make sure whatever you get has a ceramic base

Then get this for pure heat:

And get this for Heat/UVA/UVB:

Thanks for the help:)

BTW, just make sure the fixture will accommodate the wattage of bulb or heat emitter you get. All the ones above, in this post, are the right things to get.

I use a CHE for 24/7 heat, which is in a dome reflector fixture one can get at Walmart, Lowe's, Home Depot, or Tractor Supply. They all have a ceramic socket.

For UV, I have a Repti-Glo 5.0 tube fluorescent light fixture on 12 hrs a day.
