That was quick! That's pretty much the answer I had, just a variant of:

Keep the first bulb switched on for a few minutes. It gets warm. Switch it off, switch another one on, walk into the room with bulbs, touch them and tell which one was switched on as the first one (the warm one), the second one will be on and the third can be easily identified.
