I bought a baby jackson a couple weeks ago. His night temperature in my room was around 73-75. I know thats the warm so i asked around and they said to put him.outside and i did and his temperature right now is 68.2 is still this to warm or is it good? His day time temperature is below 90. His age im not sure. I say 2-4 months.

73 to 75 would be okay ... as long as they have dark to sleep and it is cooler than the basking. 65-69 is okay too, just watch leaving them outside if the temp drops too low at night.
look up the care guide on this site to get a better idea of the exact care for you Cham. (in the navigation box to the left "care resources" then look up your type of cham.

How old is the Jax? They're okay around 60F. You want a significant drop at night from daylight temps. Jackson's are montane and prefer cooler temps, so I'd be more concerned about how hot it's getting during the day if it's sitting near 90. Temps during the day should be around 73-75F

I sleep with three fans in my room, therefore I keep my jax in my room with me. They are all next to a huge floor fan literally one foot away. A/C pumping at night. Happy as they ever were. Once I moved them from the other cham rooms, they perked right on up. Even started to eat a LOT more. The temp drops really stimulate their appetites.
Age, idk. Id say no nore than 5 months. His night time temperature last night was around 65-67. Highest i hear for day time temperature is 85. Idk if that is wrong or right.

If it ever goes above 80, even in the basking area, my seven month old Jackson gets too hot and starts panting. So I keep her basking area at 80 or 81. She's happiest when the ambient temperature is between 70 and 75 during the day and between 60 and 65 at night. She also tends to go into the cloud of the cool mist humidifier at night, which is probably making her even cooler.

I would cut your light back to a 40 - just use a regular daytime bulb- you might just use it in the morning if you can and turn it off in the hottest part of the day.
In Kenya it gets down to the low 50's at night - the high altitude does it - I keep the air conditioner set at 65 for my Jackson at night - I have a small unit in the room- and she is closest too it - It isn't a great unit and the temps in the room vary it's cooler by her cage.
