Interesting question. An electronic ballast should fire a lamp and overcome the gas thermal resistance due to increased cold. However, the electronic circuit itself is no doubt sensitive below around 0 Centigrade. My shop sits at around 60 degrees and the lamps fire instantly with zero apparent flicker. Hopes this helps

Anthony, I'm a bit slow on installing these, I bought 8 fixtures last year and another 2 recently. T8 fixtures are supposed to work well in low temperatures (20 F) so I'm trusting the liturature I read and what I've heard from coworkers enought to buy 10 of these fixtures. Sorry I don't yet have first hand experience.

Living in California, it's never cold here, but this is one of the fastest start units I have owned....

It depends, from a cold state first run it should be pretty damn fast. However if you turn it off and then back on even it was only on for a moment. Then it will take 5-10 mins sometimes, I guess it's a safety feature?

It takes just a few seconds longer to warm up when cold. The battery could also have a shorter lifespan in extreme cold as well, but generally speaking I had no functionality problems near 0 deg F.

yes it does, also its not sensitive to the cold. it was out in a car overnight when the temp had plunged to -15 and it turned right on when needed.

I would think that would not be problem during the warm weather. But if you are in a cold area where it could freeze it would be a problem. I would check with the factory. Richard

I suppose it will work during a snow storm but I wouldn't leave any generator out in the open. However, I bought this generator and it worked for only a few times. The company went out of business and now I use it for boat anchor.

you can start it via the pull rope, but the electric start is much easier especially when the engine is cold. I have not tried the pull rope in cold start conditions, but it worked just fine when I used it to restart the engine.

Yes, I have used it to jump start my wife's 2002 Lincoln Town Car. I can't recall the air temperature when I jumped her car. I don't believe it was during the winter months so I can't say for certain that it will turn over a very cold V8 engine.

Not sure as I haven't used it in the cold, but others say it will. I think all cords will stiffen up some when cold. Hope that helps.

I don't anticipate a problem with cold temperatures. However, we never got to try it in the winter--because our 95 lb rescue dog pulled this from the ground. Not one, but two! So use with caution

I cant say about working in cold . I do think They have a website . Although this product worked slowly , I was pleased with the results . I personally wouldn't be afraid to use it just because its cold out . Hope this helps .

It should because it is the smaller size but you need to check. I do not know the cold cranking but it started for me when temp came down to 28F

Super easy electric start. Pull start is also low tension. Not very heavy or bulky. Moves smoothly...small tires can get slowed in thick snow. Go slow in heavy wet snow. It will shut off if you try to do too much wet snow at once! Remember to run gas dry (empty) at end of winter season. Avoid using gas stored more than 2 months. Change oil according to manual. Don't forget ear protection...this thing gets loud.

Worked best in warm weather, it works in cold weather but it's not as effective. This is from personal experience.

I'm in NE Ohio, it works fine in the cold! I would recommend adhesive Velcro or something like that. Adhesive tape alone might not hold up in the cold weather.

I use it for auto racing in the summer months, so I have no experience with it in very cold conditions.

Yes, that is exactly what I have done for 1-1/2 years. I take short trips that don't recharge the battery fully. This tops it off once a week. If you are in frigid weather and you mean, will it start a car at -30, your battery may not be strong enough to do that, even if it is fully charged. That is a different issue.
