You need to get him to a vet to treat the burn.

Moving the light doesn't solve anything right now. Please do put some ointment on it and get him to a vet as soon as you can.

Unless anyone has a suggestion to fix the burn.

His back knees look burned also. Silver Sulfadiazine if you have some will help treat the burns.

Moving the heat emitter will prevent more burns, so its a good idea. The best treatment for burns is Silvadene (or the generic equivalent) that's available from good vets. In a pinch if you can't get to a vet soon you could use Polysporin without pain medication added. It will protect the damaged tissue from bacteria.
