You would need two sets of electrodes made from two different metals, preferably from opposite ends of the Periodic Table. You put the electrodes out from each other on the top of the lemon. Then you would connect the lemons together in series, alternating the metals you use. For instance, you would connect the copper electrode of one lemon to the zinc electrode on the next lemon. You might need 6-9 lemons, depending on the voltage. You might do better to use a LED instead of a regular bulb, since they draw less current. You can test your lemon cells using a voltmeter to get the polarity and the amount of voltage.
