But the halide would heat up everything including the air outside the feeder, so that wouldn't really work. Plus maybe slightly less efficient.

Was gonna ask where you got the relay but I guess you don't have one yet So ummmmmm ... any ideas where you plan on getting a relay, per chance? I just took a look at the ones I could get at The Source and Canadian Tire (my truck has a flat so I needed to go in anyhow) but didn't find anything.

I've purchased 120VAC relays from eecol before.

Do you just ask for a 120vac relay or is there a part# you have to give them?
