Hey,

A heat lamp is fine to use with ducklings as long as it's not too low that they could burn themselves, and also make sure that they have enough space to get out of the direct heat if they become to hot.
Most heat lamps come with red bulbs rather than white, which allows animals to see, but the light it not so strong that it keeps them awake.
