There’s two lights up there and I was going to pick up some 100w incandescent bulbs and leave them on. Probably a drop in the ocean.

I suppose adjacent furnace will be running 24/7 for a few days and most leak some warm air.
If you don't have or want to put a heater in the attic, the PO of my home put a halogen work light in the pump house to serve as a heater for the pipes out there. During "snowmaggedon" almost two years ago now, I sealed up the crawlspace and put 2 halogen worklights under the house to act as heaters. I think they are 500W, so they put out A LOT of heat. And yes, assuming you don't lose power, the heat from the furnace and house will probably keep the attic/pipes warm enough.
