Not a lot. The rating is to denote the voltage the bulb is designed for. The higher rating just says it will handle voltage that high so you have a bit more flexibility if your voltage fluctuates.

The main difference between a 130V and 120V light bulb is the voltage rating. A 130V bulb is designed to operate optimally at 130 volts, while a 120V bulb is designed for 120 volts. Using a bulb with the correct voltage rating ensures it operates safely and efficiently.

One has a filament designed to work on 120 volts, the other has a filament designed to work on 240 volts.

The 130 volt light bulb will last longer in use but some of these types of bulbs do not give out the same light output as do 120 volt bulbs.
