The rule of thumb for a fluorescent UVB light such as the ReptiSun 5.0 is 12 hours a day. The cham needs to get within 18 inches of the light to get the benefit, so put the light in a place where your cham spends some time, such as near its basking perch. I would not suggest using the high intensity incandescent UV lights for a jax...they like it cooler and much more humid.
Here are some very good sites for care info:
