Simple light bulb operated by button and optoisolator triac

I'm new to the world of electronics and I have a quite simple question.

Can I control my light bulb with something like this schema?

Schema

Power source is regular AC 230V (~320Vrms) source.

The MOC3052 data sheet: http://pdf.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheet/motorola/MOC3042.pdf

(I want to control this using Arduino but is the underlying principle OK or not?)

Suggestions please :)

Kind regards, Stjepan
