Spot lamp not warm enough

I recently got a young bearded dragon. He eats well, poops well, and seems generally healthy. But I have a major problem with the basking spot lamp. We have a "Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot lamp bulb 150 watt" yet in a 40 gallon tank, it only reaches 85 degrees Fahrenheit. I was wondering if there is another bulb that I should try.

I had been using a stick on thermometer. I put a household thermometer in the tank and it read 100 degrees. I plan on stopping off at a pet store to buy a better one. Thanks.
