Outdoor CFL (not rated for any special use) takes about 3 minutes to warm
up at 0°F. Must do wonders for bulb life. Going to try an LED bulb next.

I'm still working on incandescents, so no problem with the OD lights. I
wonder how Prius (et al) owners are making out.

I would think that if temperature is a problem there is a deicer somewhere.
