It almost sounds like your cage is by a window. Which might be whats causing the cage to be so warm. Instead of turning off your basking light, move the cage away from the window for a few reasons. Your Chameleon isn't getting any UVB from the sun as the UVB rays cant pass through the glass from the window. And your Chameleon needs to thermoregulate by going to cooler parts of the cage, which can't be done if the ambient temperature is too high.
