    Maybe try building a wire box and putting that around the lights.

    I would cut a hole in the top and put screen over it and the light on top of the screen.
    oo, never mind I looked at the pic again.
    Can you hang the lights more toward the front?

    Need the get the light closer to the ground and off the side of the cage where it's a POTENTIAL fire hazard.

    It would appear that he wants/needs to get warmer than he's currently able to.

    he doesn't want to get warmer, his basking spot is like 100 degrees, he just wants to climb because he was climbing on the front of the cage before
