This is what I’ve done. The new t5 is sitting right next to the other lamp, both pretty much over the basking area at 11-12 inches, depending on what rock he chooses. Comments welcome

Top of screen 8-10 inches for uvb

Thanks! My problem is getting him to try something besides Kale, mustard greens and Romaine. Not much luck there I’m afraid

That looks pretty good, Pogo seems to be enjoying it to!!!
I see a water bottle beside the habitat, is that for misting him?
Just a word of caution on hydration, one of THE WORST AND MOST DANGEROUS myths out there is that they absorb hydration through the skin, it simply isn't true. In order to stay hydrated they have to actually drink the water. Unfortunately most beardies don't understand a water bowl. Some will drink in a bath, most won't. The best way I've found is to use an eyedropper to drip it on their snout. They should start to lap at it and drink that way. If they don't you can add just a little none citrus fruit juice or punch to give it flavor. If you use the juice or punch be sure to use a wet cloth to wipe away any that runs down their chin. The juices on an off chance could cause bacteria or fungus to start in their scales.

They can be crazy stubborn about not eating greens lol. We most all struggle with it. You can try adding bee pollen to them, or black soldier fly larva to try to lure him to the greens (Karrieree's trick )
I think I'm going to try diluting some raw honey with water and sprtizing them and see if that works lol.

Kale and Mustard Greens are great, if he's eating them well it sounds like you're ahead of the game. Romaine has a lot of water which is good so long as he doesn't overdo it and give himself the runs.

Variety is always better so it's good you're working on introducing other things but at least he choose good food items to be stubborn about

Hmmm... maybe show him his favorite food then swap it out at the last second of the green you want

I would get the distance for top of screen 8-10 inches -- I dont know what it is now but that is what I would shoot for
