When operated at 1 2 the designed voltage a 12v bulb will not just be 1 2 as bright but will be many times dimmer. It only needs to be about 12 inches long. Led bulbs are a great way to save power and super easy to install. 4 7 out of 5 stars 228.

The extent of my knowledge about running led lights at 6 volts rather than 12 volts is that the light will draw less amperage and subsequently put out less light than when the light is ran at 12 volts. This is because it s heavier because 6 volts has to carry more amperage than 12 volts. The average led current is 20 miliamps or 0 02 amps. Less volts means more amperage.

So for an led that needs 3 volts and 20 ma you will need a 450 ohm. Cut one strip of awg 18 gauge wire using a knife. A 6 volt wiring system and switches are more than enough to handle 12 volts. You use this wire to connect between the 12 volt battery and the 6 volt light bulb to switch the power to 6 volts.

A 12 volt incandescent bulb can be used with a 6 volt battery but the lumen output will be slightly less than half. 12v led light bulb 7w 630lm ac dc 12 volt low voltage e26 base 2700k warm white 40 60 watt a19 bulbs equivalent landscape garden yard 12volt battery power system off grid solar lighting 6 pack. 6 volt positive ground for vintage and classic vehicles. You can t put a 12v bulb on a 6v tail light the bulb will be barely visible at night and invisible during the day.

Changing to 12 volts cuts the amperage load approximately in half. Iled is the current of the led in amps. For led lights the difference in light output may not be as dramatic as it is with incandescent bulbs but it will not work as well. I contacted the manufacturer of this light to see if running the light on a 6 volt system would damage the light or reduce life expectancy.
