[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 2023462, member: 76248"] A T8 has a lower output than a T5 so the mounting distances above the basking site will change. It's usually around 6-8'' for a T8 (better suited to small enclosures) and 12-14'' or so for a T5, depending on the bulb you're using. If you have a mesh top, you could try running some picture hanging wire around the fixture and through the holes in the mesh to secure it that way. If you want to mount the fixture on top then you could have it just sitting on the top if it's at an appropriate distance (take a few inches off the above estimates due to the screen intercepting some of the light) or hang it over the enclosure from a grow light style stand.
