Yes. The bulb will be slightly dimmer, but will last much longer. Most 145V bulbs are intended to be used in 120V exit signs. The reason for the higher voltage rating on the bulb is because it will last a long, long time when used at 120V.

Can dielectric grease be used on the contact point of a light bulb socket?
No, that would not be proper. The contact point of a light bulb socket has no need of any coating. A light bulb socket that is difficult to turn a bulb in will benefit from some light oil on the bulb threads prior to installing. Dielectric grease will harden, and is meant to insulate and protect electrical junctions from exposure and vibration.

Where is 130 volt electrical power used?
You're looking at 130v light bulbs? Well...the answer is "nowhere." A 130v light bulb has a heavier-duty filament in it than a 120v bulb does, so the bulb will last longer. Put it in a regular socket and it will work fine.
Can a light bulb work on a DC voltage?
It can, but if you're wanting to run a 120v light bulb on DC, you'll need 120v DC to get the rated output. That's a lot of batteries. It's easier, and more sensible, to find a DC rated light bulb, such as an RV bulb.
