Looking for Power Switch for Red Head

I have a nice redhead kit from China. They do not have a power switch on the cords. The cords are short anyway so I will be making them longer. The current end of the cord is about the perfect spot for a switch.

Does anyone know where I can order a switch like the ones typically found on a red head power cord? I need five.

The lights are 800W (120v) each.
 
Really? How do they fail? Any other suggestions?

I have owned about 5, bought them because they are so cheap, and over the course of a few months they have all burned out. Some conveniently burned out in the "ON" position so we were able to continue shooting.

I suggest either these

or these (you will need to pick up the switch box to use this style) http://www.lightsonretail.com/Merch...oduct_Code=Mole-400-16&Category_Code=switches
 
Ouch. Pricey. I wish I could find the casings cheaper, I can get good quality rocker switches cheap.
