It seems as if you used the *.inc file to test the object "Lightblub"
by including there two lights in the *.inc file itself:
light_source
	{
	<0,2,0> color rgb <1,1,1>
	area_light x*1, y*1, 2,2
	adaptive 1 jitter
	looks_like {Lightblub}
	}
light_source
	{
	<0,20,0>color Gray75
	fade_distance 10 fade_power 2
	shadowless
	}

These two light_sources get included whenever you use the *.inc file on 
another scene.

You might want to move these to the *.pov file where you can better keep 
track of where they get put in the scene (if at all).
-or-
You might want to
#declare Bulb =
union 
{
	light_source
		{
		<0,2,0> color rgb <1,1,1>
		area_light x*1, y*1, 2,2
		adaptive 1 jitter
		looks_like {Lightblub}
		}
	light_source
		{
		<0,20,0>color Gray75
		fade_distance 10 fade_power 2
		shadowless
		}
	}
in the *.inc file and use it in the *.pov file where you need.


Hope this helps some.
