I believe that it measures in some round about way the resistance and keeps the light lit for shorter/longer depending.
I didn't mean wait for another 35 seconds after the first go around.
Sorry if I was unclear

No big deal- its back and running
The light will remain on for varying time depending on the ambient temperature. However, the light and the relay are independent.

I don't believe the light is on for 60 seconds on your SD. This would make no sense whatsoever because the relay drops out at approx. 35 seconds.
