Default Low Temp CFL

Plain ordinary CFL bulbs work fine outside for me, in weather down to around
0F. They light right away, though rather dimly, but in a few minutes ( 3-5)
they are at full brightness. Some are outside 2 years now ( in enclosed
fixtures, not in the rain) with no problems or failures yet.

Anyone tried any low Temperature CFLs? I have two yard pole lights that I
would like to try them in. If you have used them, how did they Work?
