Sure, if you don't mind them being so dim that you probably won't even see them! But it is perfectly safe.

How many light bulbs can a 6 volt battery light up?

If the type of light bulb you are using was made to run on 1.5 volts, a 1.5 volt battery should be able to light up one or several of those types if they are each wired in parallel directly across the 1.5 volt battery.If the type of light bulb you are using was made to run on 0.75 volts, a 1.5 volt battery will light up two or more of those types if they are wired in pairs in series across the battery.If the type of light bulb you are using was made to run on, say, 3.0 volts, a 1.5 volt battery will not light it up very much - it may just glow dimly.If the type of light bulb you are using was made to run on any voltage higher than, let's say 5 volts - for instance a standard 120 volt household bulb - then your 1.5 volt battery will not be able to light one of those up at all.Another answerYou can wire any number of 1.5v bulbs in parallel, but for each one you add you will draw more current. Draw too much current and the battery will get hot and may explode, depending on what it is made of.How long the battery will be able to keep the light bulbs lit will depend on the size of the battery, meaning how much charge it can hold. (Its capacity in amp.hours.)

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 ...


What if replace headlight bulb with a higher voltage?

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.
