To the best of my knowledge the light will only be a forth or less, As the the lamp only gets haft of the expected voltage, it will only draw half of the stated amperage. Power equals voltage multiplied by amps, and when they both are halved, power and hence light will be a fourth or less due to increased filament resistance.
