What are these "Y" shaped socket splitters (to run 2 CFLs off of one socket) actually called and where the hell do you find them? I've scoured the lighting sections at Home Depot and Lowes and can't find them anywhere! HELP!!!

I just bought some of these from Home Depot last week or the week before. I missed them at first too, but they're in the electronics section, right by where all the various plugs, sockets, etc are. Just look very carefully where the little boxes of plug ends are and all of that.

Thanks, found them at Wal-Mart, but then also saw them later at Lowes. Very easy to miss them if you aren't looking in the exactly right spot.
