Where to get CFL Socket Adapters in Aus?

hey guys, I'v seen many posts on here where people are using a Power board with these CFL Socket Adapters that allow them to plug the socket directly into the Power board, I was thinking how convenient these would be to light up the sides of my plants in future grows.

Does anyone know where you can buy these as well as the Y splitters in Australia? I'v tried Bunnings, Spotlight and Mitre10 and I'v found socket converters that Convert E27 to E40 etc and never saw the Y Splitters or the socket converters for a wall socket.

Pretty much any hardware or home improvement store should carry them, I see them at Ace, Home Depot & OSH all the time for around $3, ask an employee at a local store where to find them, if for whatever reason you can't get them locally check online like eBay.
 
I'm in the same boat OP

How do Australian's even grow CFL without the socket converters? I can't find these anywhere, not even on ebay.

I know this is a old post but i was having the same problem myself until i found these on ebay. My only worry about using alot of these on a power strip with Y splitters is the risk of fire... Although they do not get very hot alot of cheap tacky plastic wiring haha. Time will tell.

These are good straight into a power strip ----> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/E27-female-socket-to-US-AU-EU-plug-adapter-with-power-on-off-control-switch-/380863402846?pt=AU_Lighting_Fans&var&hash=item58ad3a535e&_uhb=1


or these for more versatility ---> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LED-Light-Lamp-Flexible-3-Pin-Plug-E27-Socket-Holder-Power-Adapter-Converter-/261259737885?pt=AU_Lighting_Fans&hash=item3cd44b3b1d&_uhb=1
