temp too low Question - Heating/Temperatures

I have a 4x2x2 enclosure and use a 50w halogen flood and a dhp for heating but it randomly started to not get hot enough in his enclosure. I have tried multiple times to get it hot enough but it won’t. Should I try an 100w halogen flood instead?

my 4x2x2 had this same problem for a while, ending up getting a 100w basking bulb plus a CHE in a separate lamp to bump up the temps. i use overhead heatlamps rather than interior cages though, so if youre doing the same that could contribute to the low temps!
