The first question is unanswerable. The bulb cycles on when the temperature gets to low, and off when to hot. It cycles All the time. It usually stays off A lot longer than it stays on, after you have it up to temperature. My incubator holds 20 eggs I use the styro foam egg carton, and put it on the turner. I use the foam carton, but the paper cartons might work pretty well. I use the dry incubation process, for Dry Incubation, you need to get a trusty hygrometer. I don't add water, but it depends on where you live, whether to add water or not. During the first 18 days I incubate with the humidity at 20-30%, and on the last three days, or "Lock-Down" I add lots of water through my funnel tube outside of the incubator, and bring the humidity to 70%.
