Thinking about getting an Emperor Scorpion

I'm thinking about setting up a tank for a emperor scorpion and I was wondering what should I use to light it? I'm thinking to use two 25 watt red incandescent bulbs that are built into the top. It's a ten gallon tank. I'm going to have maybe 6 in. of peat moss to help humidity, a water bowl, a log hide-a-way and some fake plants with the suction cup. Do you think the light bulbs alone could get the temp up there or would I need to use another form of heat source? Also would fluorescent bulbs hurt or harm the emp in any way. I read that UV light is bad for them? I'm not sure what is in a regular fluorescent tube. Thanks and let me know what you think about this set-up.
