The area directly above the light bulb is warmest because of convection.

Explanation:

if all the sides of the bulb are equally close to the light source inside the bulb, all area of the bulb would be equally heated by conduction. however, convection heating mainly heats up the surface above the light source. in convection heating, the air above the surface of the light source get heated by the light source and expands, casuing it to be less dense and rise to the top of the bulb. colder denser air at the top of the bulb sink to the light source adn gain heat and expands, becoming less dense. this process repeats and the surface above the light source becomes the warmest due to convection heating
