Does a bulb light up if you use batteries with different sizes?

If you are talking about batteries of different physical sizes but of the same voltage then the answer is yes. The light bulb requires a specific voltage to operate. As long as the batteries add up to the voltage that the bulb requires, the lamp will light properly. Larger batteries usually have a greater operational capacity. The load being of equal amperage draw, the D cell load will operate longer than a AAA cell load.
