Does the RE-1 have a contact / relay to light up a lantern on a column?

Yes, the Linear RE-1 telephone access intercom has 2 relays on it. The relays are dry contacts that are 3 AMPS AT 30 VOLTS AC OR DC MAX. Because you cannot run 120VAC through these relays you would either have to use a second relay or the GateCrafters.com low voltage solar light kit. If using 120VAC lights, you would use a low voltage power supply that runs through the RE1 relay. When the RE1 relay closes the circuit it would allow the low voltage to trigger the high voltage relay to allow voltage to the light system. Or you could purchase this kit: http://www.gatecrafters.com/product_detail_32821.aspx and control the lights directly through the RE-1. Some ways the RE-1 could control the light is: When you type a code in the keypad it toggles the light on and when you type the code again it toggles the light off. The internal clock can automatically turn the lights on at a preset hour and turn them off at a second preset hour. Turn the light on and off by phone call.
