The little energy savers do still get fairly hot, yes.
The LED ones however do not get hot.
Something like this:

Will be fine.
I believe that some members on here use the LED ones already. |

Just get a small light fitting, with something like an 8w energy saver in it.
You'll still need a guard though, either that or for LED lighting.

looks great,but take the tubes out,they flicker at a rate not noticable to us but can really stress a snake. |

You may want to tear that UVB out mate, corns don't need it and it can pee them off 
May I ask what the black stuff is on the glass on the top pic?
Nice looking stack, I'd put a vent or two in each end of the viv. To keep air flow good and constant. |

no its a uvb light 2.0 :) im thinking bout replacing it with a smaller one as its heating the viv up to much unless i get them vents for the back it might release some heat :) |

1 vent isnt really enough, both my vivs have 4. |
