As an emergency car light will it operate in near zero conditions or sub zero?

It depends on the batteries you use in this lantern. Alkaline batteries suffer from reduced energy capacity at lower temperature. Your LED lantern will still work at below freezing, just that its brightness and runtime are both reduced.

helloFor my night road tryning on the road bike is very useful, I do in Mexico than the road are very dangerous than the US, the wide headlight efective ahead is around 120° to 150° , maybe is the only weak point i detected for this item, but is a very powerfull light for only 360 lumens

As long as it's not facing the streetlight, it should probably go on............but only when there is movement. Put your hand over the light sensor to check that it's working.

Jamster,I have yet to see a led bulb with minimum operating temp less than -22 F. There may be a handful under that but I wouldn't expect it. Only question is how the bulb will respond....will it not work properly during extreme cold or will it kill the bulb...I don't know. If I were you I would buy a cheap led bulb to test it out.

Works great under a streetlight . I have mine under a ledge so sheltered but looks weather proof...ish!

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.

It does have a comoressor that draws approximately 75 watts when running. Thats how it gets to sub zero temperatures.

The instructions say that it only turns on below 60 degrees. However, I only plug it in when it snows. Otherwise it'll run all the time when it's cold. I've been happy with it this winter, it keeps things melted several inches around it. However, downstream from it, water runs under the snow and it's a little icy.

We are in Australia and have been using these alarms summer and winter, lowest here would have been -2 degrees. As long as you use non rechargeable batteries they should work fine

I have not found this trap to be operative at temperatures below about 30 degrees F. Alkaline batteries lose voltage at low temperatures, making the red "low battery" light on the trap blink, even with new Duracells. The only common batteries functional at zero degrees or lower are primary lithium ion types, but they are not readily available in C cell sizes and cost a fortune - roughly $25 per battery! I consider this characteristic to make the trap unusable at low temperatures (as in unheated attics or garages - two common mouse inundation places).

I had problems in cold weather (40 deg F) when I ran it on a 15 amp circuit--it would just hum and trip the breaker, and I'd have to cycle it on and off quickly before I finally got it to run. I ran it the same day on a 20 amp circuit and it worked just fine.

It will work outdoors in cold and rainy weather. I have tried starting fires with mine and it has worked quite well. However, if the gas you put into it is cold, then it won't work very well. Make sure that the gas is about room temperature before filling the torch.

As far as cold weather performance, I'm now disappointed. I tested it today with both the car and the just-charged powerall cold, at -15°C (5F). It doesn't work. But there could be something wrong with mine and maybe it's not fully charged. While charging, it stayed at the 3-led level for 4 hrs. So I dis/reconnected charger, and suddenly it goes to 5 leds and stops. Something's weird.

I don't know how it would do in the rain. It's battery operated. But it's certainly good for emergency lighting. However, the sensor mechanism did stop working for me after 2 months. I can still turn the light on manually but the sensor may not have a long life.

Please disregard my "yes" answer! I hit the wrong button on accident. I am not sure if it will run in cold weather&#128561;.

0 to 60 degrees f. It depends on temp outside. It will stay on with vehicle off and will shut down before draining battery.

it will get warm especially when using the lights but not hot to the touch if there is something wrong that is making it get to hot,it should blow a fuse that operates some function with the lights inside or outside the vehicle
