Will these bulbs be suitable for heating my fc?

I am currently in the process of my first grow with 1 grain bag, 5 PF cakes and one test PF cake that was started a month ago
It is now time to fruit that cake and the others shortly after
I have been using an external heater attached to a thermostat but for reasons of space, stealth and practicality I need something within the fc
Would these bulbs be suitable? (Hooked up to a thermostat, and I assume something to stop it direct shining onto the substrate/ shrooms, and possibly an internal fan running when its on to help distribute the heat evenly)

The community has been such a great help and this has been the first of my questions the search function or Cultivators Guide hasn't been able to tackle completely lol

Never heat the chamber, heat the room.
No need for a heating bulb....you want 6500K daylight bulbs like these.

They produce no heat.
What are your temps that you feel the need to heat the place.

Its currently approaching winter here in the UK so 62F and decreasing
I currently have a 7W daylight tube in my fc for lighting but was wondering if this would be possible for heating since I am currently using a halogen space heater in a wooden cabinet and am concerned about fire risk
Would this be suitable for external heat?

That would be perfect, if it works good.
