Every lizard knows how much heat they need, all you need to do is put the heating light in the side of the tank or enclosure and the gecko will sunbath when it needs the heat, and will leave when it does not need it.

If you have an enclosure that you can't really put a heating light to one side, then you are just going to have to experiment. Put a normal heating light in there and watch your gecko, if it is pressed against the wall as far away from the light as possible, then the heating light is too powerful and you should get a smaller light. Usually geckos and other lizard-like animals only need 8 hours of sun light/heating light a day.

Aways make sure your gecko has water that isn't too close to the heat light, it's never fun to be in a Jacuzzi in a hundred degree weather.
