   There's only SO much room in the enclosure.

   Some solid-state 'relays' are fairly small,
   though still need to be heat-sunk.

   For safety, I'll have to go with like a 300w capacity
   minimum. You can still buy 200w A-series bulbs. They're
   bright and very nice, but DO suck up the power and
   get hot as Mex tamale shit.

   There's tons of stuff for the electronics hobby market,
   but for real-world line-connected there's not as much.

   Gonna look around a bit more. Mouser ? Newark ?
