None of those things will have much of an effect. The most effect comes from the outside air temperature and an inadequate amount of insulation and air leaks around windows and doors.

Replace all light bulbs with LEDs, but not for heat. The biggest savings will come from a reduction in electricity usage. An incandescent bulb uses about 6 times the amount of electricity as an LED.
