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.
What else can I help you with?
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?
Using a 120 volt bulb in a 130 volt socket may cause the bulb to burn out more quickly or not function properly. The higher voltage from the socket can lead to a higher current flowing through the bulb, which can damage it or cause it to fail prematurely. It is always best to match the voltage of the bulb with the voltage of the socket for optimal performance and safety.
Will a 12 volt auto light-bulb work on 12 volt AC?
Yes, a 12 volt auto light bulb can work on 12 volt AC, but the light output might be slightly lower compared to when using DC. The bulb will still produce light, but it may flicker due to the alternating current.
Can you use a 145 volt bulb in a 120 volt lamp?
No, a light bulb rated to work in a 120 volt lamp will not work properly in a 12 or 24 volt low volt lighting fixture. I don't believe it will harm the fixture. If you did get a 120 volt light bulb to fit into a low voltage light it would probably just be dim.
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?
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.
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.
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 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.

Can you use 220 volt light bulb on 120 volt system - I know the reverse would probably blow the bulb so wouldn't European 220 Volt do ok in 120 volt socket or would it be dimmer than it normally would?
Yes a 220 volt light bulb will run on a 120 volt circuit but at 1/4 of the wattage that the light bulb is rated at. A 100 watt light bulb on 220 would would be equal to a 25 watt light bult on 120 volt system.
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.
Can a car battery light up a 60 watt regular light bulb with out using a power inverter?
Yes it it is a 12 volt DC light bulb. It will not operate a household 120 volt light bulb.
