Why don't you keep the powersun at a safe distance for UVB exposure, and use a different light for your basking site? I use 45 watt outdoor flood bulbs for most enclosures. They will provide a 110 degree basking spot from about 12" away. If you need to project the heat from a higher distance, a 65 watt should do the trick. The thick glass on those lights really projects the heat well. You could also try an undertank heater to bring the temps up enough so that the powersun makes up the difference...
