Sure. But the magnifying glass can't squeeze any more heat out of your light source
than what the source has without the magnifying glass.

The only thing the magnifying glass does is take all of the light ... and maybe heat ? ...
that hits the magnifying glass and focus it down to a very small area. It has no more
heat or light to work with than what enters the glass.

The most efficient way to heat water with a light bulb is to shine the bulb straight up
and hang the pot over it.
