Personally, I feel better with a screen cover over the lights if they have to be inside the cage. Optimal would be keeping the lights outside, in my opinion, as the bulbs get very hot and can easily burn your animals, especially since many species can and will climb up to them (the lights). However, if they must be kept inside the enclosure, the screen cover can help have that extra layer to help prevent your animal from getting too close and getting burnt, definitely worth the couple dollars they cost.
