[sdiy] audio controlled light show

[John Speth]

I think solid state relays are instantaneous.  I've used them for
incandescent lights with no problem.  I'm not sure how they would work for
other devices though.

However, depending on the bulb you use, there may be a delay between the
time the relay is turned on and the time the bulb is at full power.
