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.
