Default Running at half the voltage

Have a 10Watt, 12Volt Hologen lamp for a christmas decoration. But the
mains tranformer I have is only 6 Volts.

Apart from being a bit dimmer, would there be any other consequences running
at the lower voltage? Thanks.



it should work properly. Sure it's darker, but this may be ok for
cristmas decoration. Your lamp lives longer running with lower voltage.

Greets and happy holidays.
