Bearded dragon lighting question?

I just got a 50 gallon tank for my bearded dragon, Sheila. Right now i am using a 75 watt and a 60 watt (On high!) for heating, don't worry i have UVB and stuff too... anyway with those 2 it is still only getting up to 94 degrees! (Farenheit) what bulb would be good to use? i was thing a 100 watt Sun Glo, but im not sure... any suggestions? I only have the money for 1 clamp lamp right now (I'm only 11, so I don't have a lot of money right now), so i will be buying a new clamp lamp and a bulb. Thanks in advance!

    The sun glow is a great lamp to use because it has the UVA/UVB and heat source all in one. i would suggest using the 125 watt of the sun glow bc its such a large tank. you want the basking spot to get about 105 f. also with the sun glow u only must have one clamp fixture so it eliminated the need to spend extra money on a dome:)
