Given that a power relay with a proper terminal base is about $15(US),
four of these plus switches plus two boxes plus receptacles plus cable
has got to run you far more for only half the channels.

Only caveat: at 5A/channel you can easily overload the relays (probably
weld the contacts) if you hook two pars to one channel or use bigger
than 600W lamps. I wouldn't use more than half that per channel if you
want it to last.
