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.


Can you hook up a 12 volt light to a 33cc scooter?

Yes, if you have a 12 volt battery and/or a charging system to support it.


Can a 12 volt tail light be used on a 6 volt Model A system?

A 12-volt tail light cannot be directly used on a 6-volt Model A system without modifications. The 12-volt bulb will likely burn out quickly when powered by the lower voltage. If you want to use a 12-volt tail light, you would need to install a voltage regulator or a resistor to reduce the voltage appropriately. Alternatively, using a 6-volt bulb designed for the system would be the best option.


3rd brake light out on a 86 Buick Skyhawk is this 12 volt?

They are run on the vehicles 12 volt dc electrical system.


Can a automotive light switch on a 6 volt system work in a 12 volt system?

Yes, an automotive light switch designed for a 6-volt system can work in a 12-volt system, provided the switch's current rating is adequate for the higher voltage. However, the switch may be less durable due to the increased electrical stress, potentially leading to overheating or premature failure. It's also important to consider that the overall lighting performance may change, as bulbs rated for 6 volts will not perform optimally at 12 volts.


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.


Can you jump a 24 volt system with a 12 volt system?

No

How do you get a 240 volt ac light to work on a 12 volt dc batttery?

I found this light http://www.ecolivingcentre.com.au/products-page/?product_id=23 and it is the perfect size and power for a torch we are making in graphics, the only problem is that it runs on 240 volt ac current and the torch im going to make is going to have a 12 volt dc lead acid battery, is there any way that you can make the battery work with this light
