My reasoning was that if there truly is some kind of periodic surge that is
taking out the bulbs then perhaps it is of greater magnitude than 130 volts.
My other thought was to put in a 230 volt light bulb, but those are a little
hard to find on a local store shelf.

Why don't you just use a 130V appliance bulb?
