After 28 years in the Navy as a Electrician, I shudder at the thought of 
putting a bare light bulb anywhere into the aircraft.  I  lost two very 
good shipmates over the years by exactly that method. Both were 
electrocuted when in one case the bulb was smacked against the inside of 
a boiler that he was inspecting and broke the envelope and the second 
when a dropped  tool shattered the envelope. Neither I'm sure intended 
it to happen but it did and both died.
Please DO NOT use this method.  It's like groping in the dark looking 
for a rattlesnake.
If you insist on doing this, go out and buy a 12 volt 40 watt light bulb 
at a marine supply store and use that,  It has the same size, base and 
shape with the same light output but at a reasonably safer voltage.  Of 
course you will have to use your battery or battery charger for a power 
source.
