Disagree a bit here, low light causes the plant cells to swell and elongate. This is the process that causes the leaves on stems to turn toward the light, the lit side cells are shorter than the shaded side cells. When the stalk elongates evenly, it means both stem cell sides are elongating to push the leaves further toward the light source.

low light causes elongation but low temperature slows down growth and stops the elongation, though it may also entail more watering

it's something you would know about if you had managed an indoor garden and didn't keep it cool/ventilated enough

No need to get snippy. Just looking at the pages of my university botany texts in my mind forty years past the endeavor. 😁 I could find a textual explanation, but I don’t think you are interested?
