In the United States it takes at least 110 volts of alternating current. To get rated luminous output from lamp, if you connect 2 lamps in series, you need voltage equal to twice the lamp's voltage rating and if lamps connected in Parallel, you need voltage equal to lamp's voltage rating.

How many D batteries would it take to power a 52 volt light bulb?

Assuming a standard D battery has a voltage of 1.5 volts, it would take approximately 35 D batteries (52 volts / 1.5 volts per battery = 34.67). However, in reality, you cannot directly power a 52 volt light bulb using D batteries as the voltages do not match.

Why does a wall switch 'crackle' and the light flicker?

There is a high current draw on the circuit and the switch is getting old. Change out the switch, see if you can find a 20 amp switch as the internal contacts are designed to take the higher amperage. Check how many lamps are in the circuit in watts, add them together and use the formula for amps. Amps = Watts/Volts (120).

Are there any table lamps out there that only take energy efficient light bulbs?

I have not ever seen a table lamp that only requires a energy effcient light bulb. Usually all lamps will accept any light bulb regardless or energy wattage or usuage.
