You are right, it is in series and not parallel with the relay coil. In this case there is some starting delay and a 110V DC relay would be ok

However this circuit still does not try again if the lamp did not start or if it goes out

I understand what you mean & know that the big companies do stuff like this all the time, but in this case businesses do have private mail servers and they work (and emails arrive correctly)

If your recipient doesn't get your emails despite you having set everything correctly (and working when tested with another recipient for reference), it's ultimately their email service which is broken

Few email filters will block anything that is not gmail etc. Ove the years i had once or twice landed in "spam" with emails i sent from Proton, and while Proton are not Google, they are by far a bigger player than any private company mail server for own use, and i am certain all their certificates are intact

I listen to Silence by Stomae which I recon you could class as Euro Trance

I bought a few residential grade MV fixtures new and most of them were supplied with clear lamps. The only one I have that came with a /DX lamp was the ICI-Lite Nite.

Anyway, since my MV fixture was mounted next to a window, shortly after installing it I switched the clear lamp it came with a /DX, so /DX would probably look better for most people.

I can't imagine shipping the F96PG17. I have some F48PG17s and even those seemed fragile to me.

This one might be a bit hard. Home Depot Canada still lists the Metalux SSF296T124WP for sale but it looks to be unavailable from the American Home Depot site.

The moment the power is connected, the 250-volt 10-microfarad capacitor connected to that bridge rectifier will charge through the relay coil. Current flows through the relay coil, which then triggers the contacts, ensuring that it can only be triggered once during a single power-up process. In contrast, traditional 110-volt starters may accidentally trigger and cause the light to go out when the voltage rises to 95 volts or above

almost a year ago, I was gonna order an F96T12 2 lamp fixture on lowes.com. it said they had three available. however i got busy with something else, and when i went to order it just a day later. the stock was permanently gone. and since then, I have not been able to find another online that will ship. Ideally it would be HO with magnetic ballast, but at this point even just a housing would be reasonable. i am looking for an F96T12. not T8 or 4 lamp tandem.

I listen to multiple different types of music. Trance being one of them.
