So 130v bulb on a 120v line reduces the color temperature, hence the increased red saturation. The heelspurs.com's black body chart shows lower color temperatures produce more heat, yet @haidut mentions the reduction of heat in his 130v bulbs compared to his 120v bulbs.
Would the discrepancy in heat be attributed to the reduction of energy a 130v bulb uses running on 120v? This blog states roughly 15% less wattage for 130v bulbs.
With this in mind, is it fair to say these two...
300W, 130v, 3100k bulb
250W, 120v, 2400k bulb
...would perform very similar? Actually that raises another question. Are the stats of 130v bulbs assuming it's running on 120v or 130v? That answer changes everything.
Light therapy is one hell of a rabbit hole.
