If you room is not hot enough (like a desert) you need to add some extra heating like a heating pad. The tray I use has a built in heater (available from a garden centre). Your lamp may provide a good source of heat, but most people say heat from the bottom is better. In the past I have used a computer monitor to provide extra heat. If your room is hot you may not need the extra heating!
Seedlings do better when the humidity is raised this can be achieved by placing clear plastic over the pot.
Your soil looks good

I assume you don't have a heating pad, so I think the lamp is your best bet. Shine it on the bag where the pot is in, and adjust the position untill you reach the proper temperature (around 27?C in the daytime for trichocerei, around 32?C for Lophophori). Leave it on for 12-16 hours a day. After the seedlings have sprouted (2-3 weeks) you can place them at roomtemperature near a window without additional lightning, but don't make the changing in climate too drastic.

that' basically saran wrap (it's thin clear plastic sheet that klings together and can get annoying, but works well as a covering, used to cover over food and stuff)..
sorry about that, forgot that you might not be familiar with that due to language.

The lamp could work, but keep in mind that if you are going to cover that plastic bin(which you should!) with saran wrap, temperatures will probably get too high. So try to place the lamp a bit further away from the bin and see if you can get the right temperatures.

As far as I know I think it will work, but it's kinda hard for me to say, cause I've never tried a setup like that. The small pot with the saran wrap looks OK.
I wish you the best of luck.

thanks today I covered the other one with saran wrap. I have the feeling some will sprout Peace, and one last question : should I water them now ? I spray their underneath ( where the hole of the pod is ) with water.

The soil should always be moist (not soaky wet!). You can add water by placing the pot's bottoms in a layer of water for a little while. The water will suck it's way up.
