I don’t think it will work, you need hydroponic lights.
You don’t need a separate heat lamp when using regular light bulbs, since 90% of those 60 watts (54 watts) is heat. I recommend 2 30 watt fluorescent bulbs. They’ll put out enough light to get the seedling going strong. If it’s in an enclosed area, the heat will build up but not enough to fry the plant, so long as you keep it watered. Keep it moist but not wet.
No uv lighting please.
