Hmmm...Change your outlet to number 1 or 2, they are for lighting. It matters and says so in the Apex manual. Give it a shot and let me know.
I'd assume the real relays as opposed to the MOSFET ( solid state) relays would be better for lights.
Then again if the contacts oxidized....
The EnergyBar 8 provides eight switched 120V outlets. They are numbered 1 through 8
as illustrated on the device. Outlets 1-3 and 5-7 are switched with silent solid-state
devices and can power items up to 5 amps each. Outlets 4 and 8 are switched with
relays and can power items up to 10 amps each. The total current draw for all active
outlets must be less than 15 amps
They do suggest putting low power devices on 4 or 8.
Apparently the low amp draw can keep the
MOSFET active.
Suppose it is worth a try switching outlets.
