So visibility is not really good enough for some work. It is probably not the best thing for ballasts either.
You may not need them in N. FL, but I installed the low temp fluorescent lights and ballasts. They start up even below zero. They sometimes take a couple of minutes to get to full brightness when it's really cold.
