Just made my self a little propagator, I’m pretty happy, but do you think it’ll work? I’ve got a led bulb in atm, I don’t think that’ll give out enough heat though, any suggestions?

What is that for? Starting seeds?

At first I thought it would be a cloner, but it would need air stones and I'd be afraid of the splashing water hitting the lightbulb. Do you get much heat on the outside of the box after the light is on for 18 hours?
 
Yeah just somewhere warm for starting seeds, away from prying eyes. I’ve had in on a few hours now and it’s getting warmish in there
 
You may want to stick a hygrometer inside for 24 hrs. and check parameters before you start killing seeds.

Looks like it would work great for that, just confirm it by keeping your thermometer in there for hours. Ideally it is going to be 75ish degrees steady.

Popping seeds doesn't require light, but this is a clever way of providing heat to encourage them to germinate. You can keep the moisture trapped in the ziplock bags you have placed your paper towels and seeds in, this way you do not need to worry about humidity / moisture effecting the exposed bulb.
