Usually a higher voltage will make a light bulb shine brighter; but if the voltage is too high, this can also destroy the light bulb.

If you have brighter bulbs will the battery last longer or will it run down quickly?

That does not depend directly on the brightness of the bulb, it depends on the current drawn by the bulb (which depends on the efficiency of the bulb). For example an incandescent bulb will draw much more current than a much brighter CFL bulb or LED bulb. Therefor switching to an brighter LED bulb can make the battery last much longer while switching to a brighter incandescent bulb will make the battery run down quicker.
