Answer 1

Lowes and HD carry remote control plugs

Answer 2

Your local TSC Store carries them.  I believe they are in the $20 neighbourhood.

Answer 3

Radioshack

Answer 4

I use this gizmo.  It doesn't work on the ceiling lights, but it does with a light that plugs in.

Answer 5

If you get one of these switches and its still out side your room, chances are you will still have to get up to turn the light on/off.  the signal probably wont be able to go to the otherside of the wall.. i know that the remote controll lightswitch i have (bought from homebase for maybe £15) wont work if i use the remote on the otherside of the wall.

Answer 6

The Home Depot carries two that I know of, both under $30.
