Pickles have very high electrolyte, salt & water content, which makes it a good conductor of electricity. By comparison, bacon has a high salt content but a low water content, as well as a high fat content, which acts as an insulator. So its unlikely a bacon lamp would do anything more than (maybe) spark a little at the points of contact due to electricity arcing across the surface of the bacon through any salty water that has condensed on the surface.

This is all theoretical, of course... if you do decide to do some live tests be sure to tape it for us, your avid listeners.
