Yes, a relay will work in this instance.
Sometimes size is a concederation and relays/sockets may be larger than acceptable.
Relays are also mechanical, some designs may call for solid state.
Cost may also be an issue, relays and sockets run around $5-$7 for the set, the components I listed will be around $1.
Wiring may also be a constraint on design, with relays, switched power needs to be wired, where the design I posted supply the power (2 wires vs 4)
Don't beat yourself up too bad for reading the whole thread.
