I have an oven that I have turned into a proof box through the
substitution of a 75-watt bulb for the appliance bulb. They have the
same base size, so I just remove the appliance bulb and put in the
regular bulb when I have bread to rise.

Depending on your oven, you might need a 60- or 100-watt bulb to get
to the desired temperature.
