Listen to this wise advise!

Regular flourescents will hum and flicker at 65 deg for about a half hour. At 35 deg they usually will not light at all. Even cold weather ballasts will not light bellow zero. The colder it is the less light you get.

I'm not sure which is worse the hum or the flicker. They will drive you up a wall.
