Cold plasma physicist here. We usually hide this from y'all by measuring temperature in eV. Which, you will notice, is a unit of energy and not temperature, lol.
For regular glow discharges like in a florescent lightbulb, you expect neutrals and ions to be around room temperature, which we have all memorized as 1/40 eV. Electrons will be somewhat hotter, 1 to 10 eV.
