What happesshappens if I power a 12 V EDLED lamp at twice its voltage with a 24 V power supply?

If I have an LED lamp which is specified as, say, 350 mA at 12 V DC. What, what would happen if I fed it directly from a 48 V DC constant-current power supply capable of providing up to 350 mA?

I understand increasing the voltage on an LED lamp typically makes it run hotter as it tries to draw more current, but since it is fed by a current limited source is this issue voided?

Edit: I am talking about higher-powered LED'LED lamps, like ones used for outdoor lighting such as streetlights, garden lights, etc. Say a max.maximum wattage of 30 W.

That's a "lamp" (which uses LEDs, yes), not an LED.
