Need help setting up my heating and lighting properly.

Question - Heating/Temperatures

Okay first of all I have been looking for an answer for quite a bit now so if you have ANY idea or could direct me to someone who knows PLEASE do. I'm desperate to fix my BPs temperature ASAP.

So I have bought these products listed below:

Halogen Flood: https://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/arcadia-halogen-basking-spot

CHE Heater:

UVB light:

Dimming thermostat:

I want to set up my Halogen and CHE to turn on and off for 12 hours each (Halogen during the day, CHE at night) I assumed I would have to connect both the Halogen and the CHE to the thermostat I bought but the thermostat has 2 sockets, 1 being dedicated to heat and the other being dedicated for light so I'm not sure if the thermostat I have bought is appropriate for both the Halogen and the CHE. If they are not then please let me know how I should set each up appropriately.

As for the UVB lights I would like to know if they stay on 24/7 and if not, how would I set those up too?

I'm completely aware these questions are probably simple and stupid but I really wanna be sure rather than setting it up at random and hoping for the best.
