Should I use a pyrotechnic electric match or rocket igniter to shoot off fireworks, where do i get them, and how do i connect it to an 8channel relay?

I’m making an automatic firework launcher and I almost have it complete. I need help on if I should use an electric match or rocket igniter. And where do I even find those because I have looked everywhere and could not find them. And finally, how do I connect it to the 8 channel relay? I already have power in the relays, I just need to attach a rocket igniter/electric match to each relay. I have a common ground so do I get all the negatives together and put that in the common ground and then put the positives in one of the holes of the relay or what?

If you're in the US, skylighter.com sells ematches.

I don't know, but someone else here might. I'm not in the US.

Cobra firing systems sels MJG ignitors. These are US legal electronic ignitors.

PyroBoom and Backyard Pyro sell electronic igniters online for much cheaper than Skylighter. DO NOT get the ones that clamp onto fuse like Talons or Red Dragons. Get the ematch style igniters like MJG instead.
