Light placement issues

[ZEROPILOT]

I have 3 veiled Chameleons in three Reptibreeze XXL cages.
I have LED plant grow lights, Exo Terra MV 80watt UVA, UVB heat lamps and drip systems on top of each cage.
I'm installing T5 HO UV lights to replace my T8s. The T8s are currently mounted on the back of the cages facing forward.
I know that this is wrong and especially with the more powerful T5s they will need to be mounted on top.
But there is no room for the heat lamps, the grow lights, the T5 and the drippers on top of each cage.
What have others done?
There's not a lot of real estate up there.

This is why I don’t have plant lights on top of my enclosures. Plant lights are the lowest priority in my opinion. Most people I know that use that many bulbs go for a quad fixture.

I currently run a dual T5 fixture with one 12% UVB tube and one 6500k plant tube and its growing multiple plant species like crazy. Basic dome fixture for the heat bulb. I do not use a dripper but instead have a Mist King systems with spray nozzles mounted through the front and back top corners for misting. No dripper helps free up space up top. I still have enough room for a dripper container is I needed one for emergencies.

I currently have my chams basking branch running along the front side of the cage with the heat bulb directly above and centered on the front of the screen. My T5 fixture is set diagnally from the front left corner to the back right corner so all the plants get decent light and the UVB covers a good portion of the cage. Mister nozzles on the front right corner and back left corner with the water lines running along the frame of the cage. This leaves a decent amount of space in the back left portion of the cage for me.

I've got a MISTKING running just one nozzle shooting diagonally across the enclosure in each.
The chams usually come running when I fill up each LITTLE DRIPPER in the morning. They each drip for over 3 hours.
The misting is every 3 or 4 hours 3 minutes each session during the daytime and for 20 seconds overnight.
I've been doing some measuring and I think that at least for now, I'm going to set the drippers to the side up on a shelf that I'll install very nearby and use aquarium tubing running downhill to the cages.
Then I can place the new T5s, the LED plant lights and the MV heat lamps on top.
Hopefully that's going to do it.
I don't want to get rid of the drippers because the chams are so receptive to them. The misters seem to annoy them.

I'd be wary of the MV lamps while running a T5HO unless you have a SolarMeter to check levels, personally. I'd probably use something else to provide a basking element.

Ok
When the T5s go up, I'll swap over to incandescent heat bulbs?

I feel that'd be a wise decision, otherwise you're potentially risking overexposure. Can't really go wrong with a good old incandescent!

Great.
I've got a couple dozen brand new "daytime" incandescent heat bulbs I got on clearance years ago and never used for anything. Frosted white.
At least that's one thing I won't have to buy.
