Sure glad I stocked up at much lower prices last year, but I am glad I will still have a source when needed.

Those are 130 volt lightbulbs that last twice as long since they only get 120 volts.

I would guess that the actual wattage output will be less than the rated wattage at lower voltage?

The trick isn't in making a long life lamp, but in making it the right color temperature (whiteness/brightness).   You can run lamps a reduced voltage, but then the light becomes more red/orange.
