As a custom circuit I can't think of any rules that would prevent it. However, it probably wouldn't
work. A Spike is designed to run on 12 volts, and definitely will work down to 9, but I don't think its relay coils will function with only 5 volts powering it.
When experimenting with flashlights at the beginning of the season, we successfully used a small 5 volt relay, switching it using a Digital Output.
