isnt bad for him, its just brighter and they can sense light vs dark so unless they are ready to go sleep for the night they will naturally goto the light. light means warmth in nature.
They will not give off much light as t8's so maybe he is just in the comfort zone also temp wise for him right...
i would get a screen enclosure asap and for supplements just keep it simple and go with repashy calcium plus. then you dont need worry about a complicated vitamin calc and cal w/d3 schedule. keep it simple and keep the temps stable liek suggested and he will grow like a weed.

Regardless of the age you get what you pay for, a 50.00 chameleon will live about as long as it takes to get it home usually. I am exaggerating but that is to stress a proven point that not all breeders should be breeding. Its ez to get cham;s to mate and sitting in the inucbator is no task...

I had some...
coolness, do you know who the breeder was? Some nice real red dragons coming out of europe lately, one of the breeders i like to get from just imported a bunch from europe.
I hate your going thru this, just a cpl things I try to follow when it comes to reptiles:
