Is there a difference between a 120V bulb and a 130V bulb?

I thought we basically had 110-130V North American voltage and 220-240V Euro and others voltage as the actual voltage you get from the grid varies within a range.

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:

Yeah no way theres a transformer stepping up the voltage in his hood.

Its 130V rated for safety but realistically hes getting like 115
