I've found him upside down in his glass enclosure- he usually wakes out of his hide when we turn the lights on- so I'm guessing he was upside down for a few minutes. Will he be ok?

I only have one dome lamp, and I a planning to swap out the basking lamp for a CHE (Ceramic Heat Emitter) at night. How long do I need to let each bulb to cool off? Do I need to wear any special thing, like oven mitts to handle the CHE?
