Rpi Fan - Need an explanation

Simulating a fan for my Raspberry pi. Fan is 5V, 0.15A and substituted here with a Lamp of 5v, 750mW as I figured they were equivalent. Top circuit is the goal. Lamp is receiving 150mA. The bottom three have an additional 3.33V source, one that will come from a GPIO and act like a control pin. Why is the output so much better if I put the the transistor between Lamp and Ground instead of Lamp and 5v Battery?
