Trying to set up a flip flop for a 2 ballast 4 light setup. 1000 watt lamps on magnetic ballast. Everything 120v. Two lights draw around 20 amps, so I'm looking for a 30 amp, DPDT relay with 8 pins which I'll use with a regular plug-in 15 amp timer (though I do have an intermatic timer I could also use if anyone thinks it's advantageous) to trigger.
I'm also considering timing the ballasts to shut down just before flip in order to prolong the life of the relay.
Haven't been able to find the Dayton relay here in the Great White North, but I have found this:

Any thoughts on it's suitability?
