Yes. Many 12 volt bulbs get very dangerously hot, for instance the 12 volt bulbs that are commonly used in vehicle headlights and in small 12 volt 50 watt overhead ceiling lights in homes.

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 ...


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.
