US extension leads in UK?

Does anyone know where I can get a 2 (or 4) way extension lead that can be wall mounted, with US sockets? Something like this, but with US sockets.
I've tried Google, eBay and Amazon with no success. They have US extension leads but they tend to be a single socket in line with the wire.
My commute has become an hour each way in the dark and I'm finding my front lights need recharging every evening.
I want to have a couple of sockets near my bikes in my porch so I can just plug my lights into charge without taking the batteries off the bike (I.e. being lazy). The lights are magicshines and came with US chargers.
Space is tight, so if I can save the depth of a UK-US adaptor on three wall it's one less thing to get knocked and broken.

What about buying UK chargers?
US plugs are not rated for UK voltage by default, check carefully that they are able to handle 230V0 -
Check if your charger is dual voltage and the mains lead is replaceable.
I've got 2 magicshine chargers - they're both dual voltage (100-240V)and as my leads were removable, I replaced mine with leads with a UK plug on the end - the one you want is called IEC C& (commonly known as a figure 8)
