Here is the deal...

A 15 watt heat source is a minimum to bring 75F to 85F in a 3 cubic foot area. That is 15 watt hours for 24 hours... a car battery holds about 30 hours of operation at 15 watts = 450 watts.

It will take about 1350 watts to charge that 450 watts back into that battery. (NOTE: if you drain a car battery to 0 volts... you have just killed it, it will only charge back up to 10 volts, and give you 45 watts of power.)

Simply, Yes... any light bulb is a great heat source. Pick your wattage. Since lights are only 10% efficient, tht translates into 90% efficient heat. Ceramic heaters are only about 80% efficient unless you use a fan with the heater.

NOTE: you would need 40 D batteries to equal the power in one car battery.

Final note... Car batteries give off explosive gasses when discharged/used.
