Has anyone run a lower temp stat?

I'm considering going to a 186 degree stat, when my oem stat in my 2004 began to fail last winter - it began open too soon and stay open - a CEL was never triggered so I'm curious as to what temp a CEL can be triggered.
The stat I bought was 195 F - the spec'd is 192 F and albeit 3 degrees on this car that just adds to the underhood furnace.
I'd give up some degree of heat in the winter going to a 186 F stat but might prolong the lifespan of under hood components.
