alt Hacker NewsIs there a difference between a 120V bulb and a 130V bulb?
I thought we basically had 110-130V North American voltage and 220-240V Euro and others voltage as the actual voltage you get from the grid varies within a range.

Yeah no way theres a transformer stepping up the voltage in his hood.
Its 130V rated for safety but realistically hes getting like 115
Yes, the 130 volt bulb lasts longer when operated on 120 volts. My family would buy these when I was kid.
Some probably non-LLM explanations:
