    It's the kind of thing I know you could get in B&Q in the UK; I wonder whether B&Q here would have it. It looks like a one-socket adapter which plugs into the wall and you can use it with a remote.

    Otherwise try an electrical shop.


    Here are the details on the B&Q UK website:

    well if you can't find one in hk then I'm in u.k till next week thus can get one for you and bring it over as a worst case scenario.

    You could also try the b&q at megabox in kowloon bay as they should have it.
