So back in post #9, was I correct in my original thinking?

Correct.  Total of $25 of items shipped by Amazon required.

Well then, I rescind my apology in post #12. :)

Just kidding

Maximus:
Huh, never thought of it like that as I always use Prime, but it does of course give you the option to buy single units from other Amazon vendors like this for example...

So technically YES you can buy singles, just not those add-on specific listings.

I'd STRONGLY recommend against this.

Any power connection needs to have a strong mechanical connection as well as the electrical connection.

If the mechanical connection eventually becomes a bit loose, it can become a high-resistance joint and cause an electrical fire.

Ditto what PL1 said.  When you are wiring up something which runs high-voltage AC current, you do NOT want to risk a loose connection.
