It all depends. Different ovens will produce different temperatures
from just the oven light. Ambient temperature has a big effect. Get a
good thermometer and take some measurements.

I have typically done this by turning the oven on warm for a short time
to give it a head start (not just for fermenting yogurt, but a variety
of things).

Keeping a baking stone in the oven will help it hold in heat longer.
You can also put the bowl in warm water inside a warm oven. More
mass holds heat longer.
