Best Answer

It may work but may be brighter than the rating stamped on the bulb or the filament may burn out very quickly, depends on what sort of bulb it is, wherhet is uses a ballast or some form of regulator etc.. its probably best not to try unless your positive it is designed to take double the voltage

NO! The circuit breaker will not trip at the exact same instant and the one that trips will be interrupting the full 24V which is 2x it's rating. The second breaker will never trip.

I think it is possible, but the recharging would last for a long time, perhaps three times more.

It might, but I wouldn't risk it as it might weld shorted when it tries to blow.

Will s light sensor from a 240 light still work for a 12 volt system?

No, you will need to get a step up transformer, it's probably more sensible to get a 12v sensor.


What bulb do you use for 12 volt instead of a t1133 6 volt bulb?

A couple quick questions first please ... why are you using a 12 volt lamp in a 6 volt system? Have you increased the system voltage? Simply replacing a 6 volt bulb with a 12 volt bulb will cause the 12 volt bulb to burn dim ... Some systems have electrical circuits that drop (decrease) the voltage to certain units (like lights). For instance, your car is a 12 volt system (actually 14 when alternator is operating) and that 12 volts can be reduced with resistors to supply only 6 of those volts to a light ... or other device. Simply replacing with a 12 volt lamp will cause it to burn dimmer. Sorry to answer with a question but, I am just curious ...


Can you use a 12 volt battery on a 6 volt system?

Sure you can. But consider what could happen if you did. If precision of time or speed was built into this 6-volt system, a 12-volt battery will make it work faster until something shorts or burns out. If you need more lasting power for the 6 volt system, you should consider putting two 6-volt batteries in parallel to power your 6-volt system.

Will your 60 watt solar panal light up a 12 volts bulb without inventor?

If it is a 12 volt panel it will light a 12 volt bulb. Most likely it is not a 12 volt panel, it is some other voltage, so you then need equipment like an inverter to convert the energy to 12-volt energy.
