Keeping Venus Flytrap alive?

Hi,

I got a Venus Flytrap a few days ago. I went and bought some distilled water and a spray bottle for it. It has a dome with it to keep in moisture and I have a clamp lamp over with with a CFL daylight bulb. The bulb is about 16 inches away from the plant.

I can't get it any closer unless I hang it by the cord. But will it live like this with this kind of lighting? What are some tips to keep this plant happy?

Here is what the set up looks like. The container in the back has a pitcher plant and a venus flytrap, and the one in front just a venus flytrap. The ones in back are dormant. The bulb I am using is a 15 watt CFL daylight bulb. Is it enough to grow them?
