Answer?
Assuming you know all switches start in the off position: Turn the left switch on and leave it for a while. Then switch it off and turn the middle switch on. Go upstairs.
If the light is on, the middle switch controls it.
If the light is off, feel the bulb. If it is warm, then the left switch controls it. Otherwise, the right switch controls it.
It's funny you have to specify the year, now that LED bulbs are becoming the norm! (and CFLs before them)
Ding ding ding, good job!

Specifying the year might have been too much of a hint but I told this to my 9 year old niece and she immediately said ‘but what if it was an LED bulb?’.
I had always told this riddle without specifying a year and it always seems to stump people.
::: spoiler You turn on the first switch and leave it on for an hour, then you turn it off and turn on the second switch. You rush up the stairs - if the bulb is hot, it's the first switch. If the bulb is bright it's the second switch, if it's neither it's the third switch!

The ::: need to be on separate lines… but yes your answer is correct!
