Anyone know where I can get a remote control lightswitch?

It must be without dimmer as these are not suitable for energy saver bulbs,
I've found several outlets that have them with dimmers but none without -
its only going to be on a short time each day so I could put up with using a
remote/dimmer and an ordinary bulb, but I've heard a date has been set to
ban the sale of ordinary bulbs, so I'd end up paying out for something
that's going to become useless.

Well you can get them for socket outlets, if that is any help, from CPC.

I've already got some of those but I didn't think it would look very good
stuck to the wall with duct tape next to the lightswitch with bits of wire
soldered to the pins!
