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 else can I help you with?
Can you use a 10 watt 12 volt instead of a 5 watt?
Yes, you can use a 10 watt 12 volt bulb instead of a 5 watt bulb as long as the fixture can handle the higher wattage. Just be aware that the 10 watt bulb will be brighter and may generate more heat, so ensure there is proper ventilation and that the fixture can handle the increased power load.
How do you know whether to get 120 volt or 130 volt light bulb?
Choose a bulb with the same voltage as your fixture to prevent damage or risk of overheating. If the fixture specifies 120 volts, use a 120-volt bulb. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's instructions or a professional electrician.
Can you use a 13.5 volt light bulb in place of a 12 volt Will it be burn as bright?
A 13.5 volt bulb will burn less brightly but last longer.
Can a 135 volt bulb replace a 120 volt bulb?
Yes, and the 135V bulb will last longer than the 120V bulb because the filament is thicker.The downside is that the higher voltage bulb will not be quite as bright, and its light may be slightly more yellow in color (the color temperature will be less when run on a lower than design voltage).
What happens if you use a 120 Volt bulb where a 130 volt socket?
Using a 120 volt bulb in a 130 volt socket may cause the bulb to burn out more quickly or not function properly. The higher voltage from the socket can lead to a higher current flowing through the bulb, which can damage it or cause it to fail prematurely. It is always best to match the voltage of the bulb with the voltage of the socket for optimal performance and safety.
Can you use a 12 volt bulb instead of a 220 volt?
No.
Can you use a 120 volt bulb in a 130 volt socket?
It is not recommended to use a 120 volt bulb in a 130 volt socket as it can cause the bulb to burn out faster or even lead to safety hazards. It is important to match the voltage rating of the bulb with the socket for optimal performance and safety.
Can you use a 12 volt automotive bulb in a 24 volt application?
no
Can you use a 10 watt 12 volt instead of a 5 watt?

Can you use car bulb 60watt on 12 volt 7.2 amp battery?
Yes if it is a 12 volt DC bulb.
Can you use a 13.5 volt light bulb in place of a 12 volt Will it be burn as bright?
A 13.5 volt bulb will burn less brightly but last longer.
Can you use a 125 volt bulb in a 120 volt lamp?
Yes, the voltage listed on the bulb is the nominal voltage and it will work perfectly on a 120 volt circuit.
Can you use a 130 volt 60 watt bulb in a socket that was made for a 110 volt 60 watt bulb?
yes the bulb will actually last longer
Can you use a 120 volt - 500 watt bulb in a 220 volt lamp?
no , it will burn out
Can you use a 130 volt light bulb on a 120 volt supply?
Yes, in fact that is what a rough service bulb is rated at. The bulb used on a 120 volt system will have a reduced wattage output as to what it would be on 130 volts.
Can you use a 120 volt halogen bulb in place of a 110 volt halogen bulb?
Yes, the two voltages are in the same range category.
