Basking and UVb distance

Right now I have my basking light and UVB as close as possible. It is a 18x18x36 cage. My UVB light is pretty wide so it leaves little room for anything else on top. I am wanting to add an aquazamp rain dime or mist king with rain nozzle as my guy orefers the rain drops to spray, but the only way to do this would be to move my UVB towards the front and out the rain dome in between the basking and UVB light.

Any thoughts on this.....like no way, the basking and UVb should be close as possible, that would work or you are over thinking it etc...
Thanks ahead of the time for the input
 
As long as the bulbs are a reasonable distance from the chameleon then there should be no problem. I have uv bulbs (tubes) which run all along the top of my vivariums, with a basking bulb at one side.
If you are using compact uv bulbs then it would be fine to have them at opposite ends as long as there is a temperature gradient in the enclosure. Your cham will choose to sit under uv as and when required.
