Yeah it's seen a few halides in it's day.

The LG100 has a built in heater to reduce moisture by rasing relative humidity. You can wire it straight up to the 9VDC power supply as well by the looks of things. Going to leave it connected for a bit to see if it overheats.

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.
