Sounds like you have what is commonly known as a 'magnetic' starter. That's the side effect of their more economical (read cheaper) design. I'm guilty of the same thing ... I now tend to turn the heat on in the shop about an hour before I plan to go out to play.

Usually it is comfortably warm here in Sarasota but the last few days, including last night, it has been freezing. Yes, it was below 46 in the new room, and probably below 40, when I first turned on the light. It was most likely above that when I "rebooted" the light since I had turned on the heat when I started working in there. > Some 'starters' are only rated for temperatures above 46 degrees.
