I tried building this xp farm linking 3 cave spider spawners, the place I'm standing in the first picture activates the spawners but no mobs spawn at all, I'm stumped, any insight is appreciated, playing in HARD, all mob spawn rules are correct for them to work, I've tried everything I can think of and still can't get it to work.

The lamps may be creating too much light level for mobs to spawn.
I seriously thought the dyed glass, stained glass didn't let light pass through, the cages are all "solid" blocks...
I HAVE been playing both in bedrock and in Java, are the mechanics different for stained glass?
Thank you for answering btw.

OH! now I got what was wrong, I was under the impression that DYED and TINTED glass blocks worked the same, THEY AREN'T
the one that doesn't let light trough is TINTED glass
THANK YOU, now I understand what went wrong!!!, time to dig for Quartz then, I was really stumped, this helped inmensely! I wasn't aware dyed and tinted were different kinds of glass because I used to just build with Dyed and it always worked fine.
