The old "rural standard" was 130-135 volts. Using "rural" bulbs in
town made them last a LONG time. A lot of "rough duty" long-life
bulbs today are 135 volt bulbs.

That's probably obsolete. I live on a farm in a very rural area. My
voltage is normally 118 to 122. Slightly lower in the coldest part of
winter when I am running 8 to 12 stock tank heaters, block heaters, and
space heaters. (Which is when my electric bill spikes to 4 or 5 times
the summer usage amount.)
