I am a  bit leery of having a hot light bulb in a place where wax or honey
could  fall on it. 


I recently (last week) used this method to warm a stack of supers before  
extraction.  A cork tile was placed above the bulb to prevent a hot spot,  to 
avoid honey dripping on the bulb and to spread the heat more evenly  throughout 
the stack.  Supers were rotated vertically in the stack (ie  moved up or down) 
over a couple of days. Temperature was monitored with the  business end of a 
remote sensing thermometer shoved into a cell in what was  assumed to be the 
warmest part. In fact the temperature was fairly evenly  distributed in the 
stack.
