Really ? It's listed as current in their 2002 price list ...
Moss also has it listed as 435-515

Won't hurt anything, but they'll be very dim if they light at all.
Power is the square of voltage (P = V^2/R), so half the voltage would
normally mean 1/4 the power. That doesn't strictly apply in this case,
because the filament resistance goes up as it gets hot, but at best you'll
only get a dull yellow glow.
