I keep my heat emitters on 24/7 but will cut that down a bit as it gets warmer here in Idaho. You don't have to really do anything different but I found that buying the really deep clamp on fixtures with a dimmer in the cord really works great in creating thermal gradients.
Be careful with them because while they look fairly sturdy, they break easily. Screwing them in to tightly will break them and if they are hot a good bump will break them as well.
Go to amazon and you will find them for a little more than half of what they cost at Petsmart.
