Sounds crazy I know but was wondering if switching back
to incandescent from compact fluorescent would help
heat my bathroom?
I would only do this in the winter time and only in the
bathroom .... not interested in doing such in other
rooms.

It doesn't sound crazy as such. An incandescent light does give off
more heat. You pay for this pleasure though and a small space heater
would be more effective. The light won't do much. You could, however,
install a fixture with a heat lamp in it that would warm you up and
only cost you while turned on. Some bath areas use these lights with
timers. A bit of experimenting would tell what meets your needs.

Yes it does, but you are better off with the special purpose IR lamps instead.

Yeah, plenty want a bathroom warmer than elsewhere in winter,
just when the bathroom is in use. I use a fan heater myself.
