The problem with heating with light bulbs is a great deal of the heat is infrared, so if you have a light bulb next to a window then nearly half of the heat from that light bulb is shinning out the window and you are slowly heating the outside, even a room darkening shade over the windows will help keep the heat in, a space blanket over the window will reflect even more of the heat back in to the living space.
