I put a MR11 halogen bulb rated for 5 watts/6volts in a fiber-optic novelty fixture that came with a 5watt/12volt bulb?

So in other words toss the bulb I mistakenly bought and get the right voltage bulb.

Thanks, guys!
 
i'd be careful with halogens, i think the bulbs are pressurized, you could have a small explosion on hand.
 
Definitely replace it.....don't want to chance something bad happening. I mean, like you said.......it's 5 watts. Not a big deal....but just in case, swap it out with the right one.
