I will give a no no to the bulb. It will dry out your eggs and kill them within hours. You will want to use a heat pad or tape big enough to heat a cooler type box. Make sure its well insulated. Put water bottles at the bottom to keep temps constant. Put that pad on a thermostat and keep this at a place where temps are relatively constant like a closet. Ofcourse this is a very getto rigged incubator but it will save your eggs.
I will always suggest buying or building a good incubator but I understand that not everyone can. So hope this works for you.
Goodluck
