Fluorescent Yard Lights and Cold

I'm looking at trying a 65W fluorescent yard light (about half the price of metal halide fixture). What's the coldest it can be and a 65W fluorescent will still start and give off good light?
 
Had fluorescent floods in a motion detector light. By the time they warmed up light was switching off. Finally switched to LED floods, problem solved. We'll see how durable LEDs are.
 
I been changing to led, better light and longer life especially in cold. And instant on no matter how cold
 
Keep looking, mines about 4 years old, used to get pretty dim below about 20 degrees but always lit until this fall, now it won't even light below about 35 degrees, bulbs about 3 months old, always takes a new bulb about once a year and that's the only replaceable part.

Honeywell LED security light, $60 and up on-line or at "big box stores".
 
Take a look at Rab Yardblaster LED yard light. It gives off same light as a 175 watt mercury vapor but only pulls 26 watts. It comes on with no problem in cold weather.
 
Amen to LED lighting.

I switched last year, best thing I've done.
They really light things up and are low power consumption.

I like LED's; But not generating heat in the winter can be a problem. Hot bulbs can melt snow & ice off themselves. You could use LED's outside most of the year without problem though! A neighbor changes to a hotter bulb for December - March & runs LED's 8 months out of the year.
