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

Do you need a voltage regulator if you hook up a 12 volt light to a 24 volt system?

Hook a 12 volt light to a 24 volt system and the light will burn out in seconds. You need a step-down voltage converter to do this.


Will a 12 volt auto light-bulb work on 12 volt AC?

Yes, a 12 volt auto light bulb can work on 12 volt AC, but the light output might be slightly lower compared to when using DC. The bulb will still produce light, but it may flicker due to the alternating current.

How do you hook up 2 12 volt lights to a 24 volt system?

To hook up two 12-volt lights to a 24-volt system, connect the lights in series. This means connecting the positive terminal of the first light to the negative terminal of the second light, and then connecting the remaining terminals to the 24-volt power source. This configuration will ensure that each light receives the necessary 12 volts, as they will share the total voltage from the power source. Always ensure that the lights are rated for use with the appropriate voltage to avoid damage.
