All other things being equal, an incandescent light should not "flicker" whether it is connected to 120 or 130 VAC.

How many watts does a 500Lt deep freezer use?
The average deep freezer or chest freezer uses about 130 watts. There are some energy saver models that might use less wattage.
How many watts is 130 amps?
There are zero watts in 130 amps. W = A x V. Without a voltage stated the wattage can not be calculated.
Why are some house currents 130 volts instead of 120 volts?
It depends on the local utility power company and the the neighborhood transformer taps used. It also depends on how far away the transformer is from the house. There is a voltage drop depending on the size and length of wire. It sometimes is 120v, 125v, 130v or anywhere in between. It doesn't make much difference.
What does ac in ac 130 stand for?
attack cargo plane
What wire gage for 130' supply 100 amp service?
I would run 1/0 gauge.
Can you use a 120 volt bulb in a 130 volt socket?
Can you use a 120 volt bulb in a 130 volt socket?
Can you use a 130 volt light bulb in a 120 volt socket?
Yes, the 130 volts you read on the bulb is just the maximum it will handle. It will work perfectly in a 120 volt circuit.
Can you use a 130 volt swimming pool light bulb in a 120 volt swimming pool socket?
Yes, the 130 volts you read on the bulb is the maximum it will handle. It will work perfectly on a 120 volt circuit and will actually last longer than a standard 120 volt bulb.
How do you know whether to get 120 volt or 130 volt light bulb?
If you want your bulbs to last longer then use 130 volt bulb on a 120 volt system. The light emitted by a 130 volt bulb, when comparing it to a 120 volt bulb, will be a bit dimmer.
Can you use a 130 volt light bulb on a 120 volt supply?
Yes, in fact that is what a rough service bulb is rated at. The bulb used on a 120 volt system will have a reduced wattage output as to what it would be on 130 volts.
What happens if you use a 120 Volt bulb where a 130 volt socket?
If your supply voltage is 120 volts the impact of switching from a 145 volt lamp to a 130 volt lamp would be, the 130 volt bulb would not have the same lifetime as a lamp operating on 145 volts. The upside would be that the light output would be greater. This is based on both of the lamps having the same wattage rating.
Can you use a 130 volt 60 watt bulb in a socket that was made for a 110 volt 60 watt bulb?
yes the bulb will actually last longer
Use a 145v light bulb in a 120v socket?
Yes. The bulb will be slightly dimmer, but will last much longer. Most 145V bulbs are intended to be used in 120V exit signs. The reason for the higher voltage rating on the bulb is because it will last a long, long time when used at 120V.
Is it safe to use a 130 volt light bulb in a 120 volt lamp?
Yes, because all manufactures figure in a minimal safety factor in order to pass UL code for people who don't follow recommended applications. <<>> A 130 volt bulb will not be as bright as a comparable bulb of the same wattage on 120 volts. Traffic signal light bulbs have a 130 volt rating. Used on 120 volt systems the bulbs last much longer because that are rated for a higher voltage. This bulb will gradually be replaced by LED lamps which have a much more significant life span.
What is the difference in 130v and 120 volt light bulb?
Not a lot. The rating is to denote the voltage the bulb is designed for. The higher rating just says it will handle voltage that high so you have a bit more flexibility if your voltage fluctuates.
Where is 130 volt electrical power used?
You're looking at 130v light bulbs? Well...the answer is "nowhere." A 130v light bulb has a heavier-duty filament in it than a 120v bulb does, so the bulb will last longer. Put it in a regular socket and it will work fine.
Can I use a 130 volts light bulb in a 120 volt line?
12-V a.c. is a root-mean-square value, which is exactlyequivalent to 12-V d.c., so the brightness of the lamp will be identical, regardless of whether it is connected to an a.c. or d.c. source.
