Thank you.

I will be attempting to make a LED sign, but first I need to do some research. My first question is:
What is a shift register, and how does it work? -

If you type in the name of the chip and then "datasheet" you'll get:

I am trying to use a triac to replace a broken relay in a circuit I made. A 555 is setup to flash on and off about every second. The positive pulses go to a relay, which controls a 60W 120VAC light bulb. I have bought a triac to replace the relay, but I don't exactly know how to use it.
Relay:
Coil: SPST 12 volt, 20mA, 250 ohm
Contacts 0.5A @ 125 VAC
Triac:
VRRM: 300V
ITRMS: 4A Max
IGT(I & III) 30 mA Max
VGT 2.5 V Max
IH 30 mA Min
How can I use this triac?
P.S.
Do I need to heat sink it?

One more thing:
I plan to use the last ciricuit above. What wattage resistors should I use, and what should Rin's value be?
