the lights you were suggested seem/are incorrect
for a panther chameleon
you need a uvb linear tube light (repti-sun 5.0) not compact with the fixture
and then a basking spot light, it can be a regular hardware bulb maybe 75 watt or 60 watt that should be around the (80's-87) faranheit
the ambient temps around the rest of the cage should be in the 70's
the lights should be off at night
the temps at night can be as low as the 60's faranheit
hope this helps
maybe post pics of your setup enclousre to help you of any suggestions

Spot on Ace! Such a wealth of info and so clear!
thks i did think there were incorrect thought it best to check before i bring him home also i have a Komodo premium supplement for chams which has D3 in it but it says i should dust at every feeding should i only use this 2 times or so per month and get another supplement for most days without D3
