Not true. A bulb "milliamp" rating is simply the current that will flow through the bulb at the manufacturer's specified voltage. It will not actually limit the current to that value or any value, so the higher the voltage, the higher the current. To limit the current to a known amount requires an actual circuit designed for this purpose, a "current regulator" or "current limiting" circuit.
