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:

Yes, but that isn't a thing that is actually manufactured, due to the lightbulb cartel. And if it was manufactured, they'd label it as 120V, long-lasting, because no country uses 130V power.

You can't just will arbitrary part specifications into existence. You can't declare that you need a 67.53 ohm resistor and then search for that. They only make certain values.


It's absolutely manufactured! And labeled as 130 volts. Of course, people use them on 120 volt systems, but of course, they still work.
