>>I have an front porch motion sensor light.  I have a screw in outlet so I have power access.  I then have a ghost that can be activated via a switch.  So I want a product that can be plugged into the outlet.  When the light comes on the switch is closed, the ghost turns on.  I do not want to wire up 110 to a relay.  The only wiring I want to do it to the switch that is exposed from the battery powered ghost.

battery eliminator (ie, a small wall wort power supply available at
Radio Shack and similar places).
