120v vs. 130v Floodlight
We had our house built about 4 years ago. Recently one of our indoor
potlights burnt out. I looked at the light and it reads, "65W 130v". I went to the store and all I can find is "65w 120v". If I use 120v is this okay? Thank you, NA. |

Yes, all the voltage indicates is the maximum rated voltage for the lamp. 130 volt lamps might last a bit longer. |

The new lamp will be brighter but will not last as long and will consume a tiny bit more power. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |
