The Clapper =D

Didnt know where to post this thought this may be the right board!

Basically I am looking to buy what I think is referred to as "The Clapper" which is basically something which allows you to turn your lights on or off with the clap of your hands. I have looked online for this and cant seem to find anything although I do know it is being sold on amazon.com in America - just wanted to see if there were any places here that did them?

You are probably wondering why I would want something like this, I guess its for the novelty and maybe also because I am lazy and cant be bothered getting out of my bed to turn the light off etc :o :rotfl:

Thanks for any help you can give me!!

    Maplin have this in their mini kit line. Not sure if it would fit in a standard light switch box though.
    You might be able to do something with a bye bye standby. Homebase etc do a kit with three sockets with a remote control to switch them on and off.

    Have tried Maplin however that item actually requires rewiring etc of my lights and I dont really want to go into all of that.

    Does anyone have any other ideas?

    Thanks
