I don't have a light or pilot in my oven. I do have a standing pilot for the top burners. I have put thisgs on the top of the stove to keep them warm from the pilot. I am thinking of having a box on the top of the stove over the pilot to see what the temps are. I will post pics of my experiment.
Another thing I have heard of is to light the oven for a minute or so and then turn it off to heat it for proofing.
