Incandescent bulbs rated for 220V will also last many years when used with 110V.

For every 10% increase/decrease in voltage of a tungsten filament light bulb, the life is effected by a factor of 2. Most of the industrial long life bulbs are designed for 130 volts, thus roughly double life. Standard long life bulbs just have heavier filaments with more support.

If you run a halogen bulb at 110% or higher voltage, you run the risk of excessive temp and pressure, causing the glass to melt and the bulb to throw molten glass.
