Uv lighting position

[Beenletloose]

Hi guys
I'm just in the process of setting up my enclosure and have purchased a uv tube lighting, and a reflector.
I'm just wondering where is the best place to position it inside the cage.
I have a wooden enclosure so cannot put outside anyway.
So I'm wondering at the top obviously but
Top at the back near the basking light
Top in the middle not far from the basking
Top near the front of the cage but pointing inwards

How close do I need to position the top branches for him to get enough of the uv light.

Thanks guys

As long as he can get within 18" of the tube it won't really matter exactly where on the top the bulb is. If its near the basking light he'll tend to get his UV while attracted to the warmth of the basking bulb. You do have some sort of mesh or wire barrier to prevent him touching the bulbs right?

Top dead center or centered and slightly towards the rear. Make sure to prevent burns by using some type of mesh or wire barrier.
