Do you guys think it would be safe to use an incandescent just for heat purposes ( I will still be using a cfl )
Will both be okay for my CPizzles?

As long as you don't keep it close to the plants. It should not be directly near any plastic or cloth material. You should not use incandescent bulbs inside a humidity dome/tent as they may explode or overheat.

You can use them for heat just fine I imagine as long as you are careful with the placement and diligent with the time they are left on.

Why not just use a heat mat, it's much more efficient, as it'll just be producing heat, not light aswell.
