Yes, because all manufactures figure in a minimal safety factor in order to pass UL code for people who don't follow recommended applications.

A 130 volt bulb will not be as bright as a comparable bulb of the same wattage on 120 volts. Traffic signal light bulbs have a 130 volt rating. Used on 120 volt systems the bulbs last much longer because that are rated for a higher voltage. This bulb will gradually be replaced by LED lamps which have a much more significant life span.

Does a 9 volt battery light a light bulb?
Yes, for about .1 second, then it will blow the lamp. A 9v battery will however light three 3.5v lamps.
Is 12 volt is enough for a 100 watt light bulb?
12 volts is enough for a 12-volt 100-watt light bulb. It would not be enough for a 120-volt or 240-volt bulb.
What happens if you use a 120 Volt bulb where a 130 volt socket?
If your supply voltage is 120 volts the impact of switching from a 145 volt lamp to a 130 volt lamp would be, the 130 volt bulb would not have the same lifetime as a lamp operating on 145 volts. The upside would be that the light output would be greater. This is based on both of the lamps having the same wattage rating.
Can you wire your 220v pendent light into a 110v system and just change the bulb to a 110v bulb?
If the lamp bases are the same for a 220 volt bulb and a 110 volt bulb, then yes. If any modification to the pendent lamp have to be done then no, as field modifications to electrical equipment will null and void the certification that the manufacturer had to obtain to be able to sell the device.
How do you know whether to get 120 volt or 130 volt light bulb?
If you want your bulbs to last longer then use 130 volt bulb on a 120 volt system. The light emitted by a 130 volt bulb, when comparing it to a 120 volt bulb, will be a bit dimmer.
Can you use a 240 Volt bulb on 12 volt?
Yes, it can be connected safely but the lamp will not emit any light.
Does a 9 volt battery light a light bulb?

Is 12 volt is enough for a 100 watt light bulb?
12 volts is enough for a 12-volt 100-watt light bulb. It would not be enough for a 120-volt or 240-volt bulb.
Can you use a 12 volt LED light bulb in a 120 volt light bulb socket?
Yes, as long as it has a filament for producing light for example a Tungsten Halogen Lamp, normal Incandescent or GLS lamp. If the lamp is rated at 12v it will run on either 12vac or 12vdc.
What happens if you use a 120 Volt bulb where a 130 volt socket?
If your supply voltage is 120 volts the impact of switching from a 145 volt lamp to a 130 volt lamp would be, the 130 volt bulb would not have the same lifetime as a lamp operating on 145 volts. The upside would be that the light output would be greater. This is based on both of the lamps having the same wattage rating.
Can you use a 120 volt lamp where a 240 volt lamp was used?
No, the bulb would last about 5 seconds... if that.
Can you use a 120 volt - 500 watt bulb in a 220 volt lamp?
no , it will burn out
Can you wire your 220v pendent light into a 110v system and just change the bulb to a 110v bulb?
If the lamp bases are the same for a 220 volt bulb and a 110 volt bulb, then yes. If any modification to the pendent lamp have to be done then no, as field modifications to electrical equipment will null and void the certification that the manufacturer had to obtain to be able to sell the device.
Can you use a 125 volt bulb in a 120 volt lamp?
Yes, the voltage listed on the bulb is the nominal voltage and it will work perfectly on a 120 volt circuit.
A 60-watt 120 volt lamp requires morecurrrent than a 40 watt 120 volt lamp?
Yes. A 60W bulb has a higher resistance than the 40W buld. The extra resistance requires more current to light up the bulb. The fillament then glows brighter.
How do you know whether to get 120 volt or 130 volt light bulb?
If you want your bulbs to last longer then use 130 volt bulb on a 120 volt system. The light emitted by a 130 volt bulb, when comparing it to a 120 volt bulb, will be a bit dimmer.
How many 1.5 volt batteries does take to light up a big light bulb?
Is the bulb a 1.5 volt bulb? A 3 volt bulb? A 12 volt bulb or a 120 volt bulb?Or does it have some other voltage such as 230 volts which is very common in Europe and many other countries of the world?What is the wattage of the "big light bulb"?This question cannot be answered without knowing at least the voltage and the wattage of the light bulb that is being asked about.
