3 Switches and 3 Bulbs

You are standing in a hallway next to 3 light switches that have been switched off. There is another room down the hallway with 3 light bulbs – all are incandescent light bulbs and each light bulb is operated by one of the switches in the hallway.

The door to the room is closed and you cannot see the light bulbs from the hallway.

How would you figure out which switch operates which light bulb, if you can enter the room with the light bulbs only once?
