Yes.

BUT the electronics that operate the relay can sometimes be messed about by
an electronic load or just plain flourescent fixtures.

There are "fixes" for this but in my experience they don't really work.

Oh, the relay is somekind of step or latching design.   "Next time" one
breaks, I will check it out.
