You can always get a double T5-HO fixture so you can house a UVB bulb & 5000k or 6500k grow light.

Just adding the grow light for live plants is a PLUS. Keeps those bad boys alive indoors and brightens up the enclosure.

I use a 6.0 Arcadia bulb + 6500k grow light + Basking bulb and my enclosure looks pretty natural // bright.

Aquarium fixtures are usually nice looking, but they will cost ya

I used a red/blue LED plant grow light in addition to the 5.0 reptiglow and 60w soft white (for heat), the combo gives off a cool look:

its dimmable and you can choose the amount of each color you want, and the best part is it fits in a standard clamp lamp fixture

I like the T8 dual lamp fixtures from DIYCages.com. They look pretty clean and match the AquaZamp LowProfile RainDome pretty well.

Having odd looking colors in the cage is a bad idea if you want to provide the most natural experience for your chameleon. Best to stick to the UVB lamp and a full spectrum 6500k lamp to keep plants alive and give more light. Light is a big part of their lives in nature so it's good to try and replicate it.

I agree, as close to natural as we can replicate is best! You can get a nice looking dual t8 at home depot any size for under 15, I just got a very nice dual 48" for $13, if you get creative with mounting you cant even see the housing

LLL Reptile likely has the new ZooMed fixtures. You can also look into the aquarium industry.... fish people have been using T5HO for a while now.

I use this one, kinda a pain to find 22" T5 bulbs though. Arcadia makes a 6.0 22" and you can find 22" 6500k lights aswell.

6500k bulb (Had negative thoughts on it, but I guess it was a phase haha. But this bulb works great)

I use an Arcadia T5HO quad fixture. It works great to light even the most highly planted enclosures. It is a very low profile light fixture and gives you such options. I use one 6% Arcadia UVB, two 6500k plant lights and a plant pro. The fixture I have also has blue LED lights to mimic the sunrise and sunset. Here's a link to my blog with some pictures and a lighting schedule.

I got mine from site sponsor 'Light Your Reptiles' and highly recommend it! Todd has tons of fixtures and lighting ideas and is always a great help!

I love the idea of the blue light!

It really does look nice in the morning and gives a little time for him to settle in for the night if he needs to prior to lights out!
