LED's will work with lower than printed voltage.. I have, not far from me, an indicator lamp assembly.. The body of the assembly says 12 volt.. The volt meter says 5, works fine.
Some LED's are "Current limited" and more or less ignore supply voltage, some have built in voltage regulators and thus can take far less (or more) voltage than what you think they can..
I use a test LAMP (old fashion hot wire kind) to load test wiring.
