Replacing the bulbs you currently use with higher-voltage rated ones seems to be a common solution.
At home I use 130-volt "long life" bulbs that are brought in from China. My house current is at 118-119 volts and one of those bulbs may last me about a year.
And since I buy them at the bulbs at the dollar-stores ($1 for a pack of 4), I come out ahead.
The filaments of these Chinese bulbs are also better supported (five points of support) than the ubiquitous General Electric bulbs where the filament is only supported at the two lead-in ends.
A 75-watt GE bulb only lasts 750 hours (think it's a 110 volt bulb marked 120 volts?) while the Chinese version may be marked as 120 or 130 volts and it's touted as lasting 1,000 or 5,000 hours (depending on the voltage it's put across).
I've noticed some grocery stores selling 110-volt rated bulbs. They may be brighter, but they don't last as long.
