squonk 38,989 #3 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Many bulbs may fit but be careful. You could get a bulb that burns too hot and end up melting something. We use many small bulbs at work. Most differences are the hour rating Edited February 23, 2015 by squonk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,154 #4 Posted February 23, 2015 From what I've checked these are the same volts as the original I did have some one try to give me a 6volt flashlight bulb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve k 82 #5 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Volts is just the beginning. Different bulbs that fit in the same socket may have different amp draw thus running hotter or cooler. Like squonk I work around 12v bulbs every day(school bus mechanic) We frequently pull out high draw destination sign bulbs and replace with lower drawing bulbs to make life easier on the wiring and circuit breakers. I know 53 bulbs are still made because we use them in the gear selector consoles. 1445 bulbs draw roughly 140ma vs 53 bulbs draw 120ma , not much difference so you should be ok. also 1445 has twice as much hour rating.
