my buddy "Biodiesel Man" had curbs put in at his home and somebody other than me talked him into installing ropelight in the curbs... about 400' worth of the stuff.

so I made him a little panel with the usual timer / PE and a little 8 pin relay.
the problem ???
the two ropelight circuits are a bit high.... 9A and 11A on a relay rated 10A.
I was thiking of adding a second relay and running each circuit through BOTH of the NO poles on a relay

sound stupid?

I could get a definite purpose contactor and jam it in the box ( there is a pond pump control in there too )

but I thnk the ice cubes would handle it by paralleling the feed through them.

a bit unorthodox, but it could work , right ?
