Question Shared acommodation

I am in the process of setting up another tort table for when i get a new tort for my birthday. (in April, hubby has promised me one)!
I am going to convert a bookshelf by keeping one shelf in the middle. How do i share the light and uv?
Has anyone else done this and could you show me a picture if so?
Would appreciate all input!

When I have done this, I have used a clip on lamp in the middle. Sorry no pictures as this was in the past, I have not had to use it for the last couple of years.
Or suspended from above.

Megaray suspended from a chain, which is attached to a hook in the ceiling.

Are you using a UV fluorescent tube? You can get the Arcadia ones up to 4 foot, that'd share between the two.

I think Fuzzy is a far more suitable and equally inappropriate name for your next tortoise
