For light there is no problem with them. However, the ones I am aware of are usually some type of compact fluorescent bulb so they will not give off sufficient heat if you are planning on using the bulb as a heat source. Also, the hardware store types usually do not give of any UVA/UVB but since it is widely accepted that snakes do not need UVA/UVB this should not cause a problem.
