Default Cigarette Adapter Question (random)?

Hey, this is a completely random question, i have an electric air pump, that plugs into a cigarette lighter in a car, anyone know of an adapter that would let me plug this into a regular wall socket?

Go to the scrapyard and get one of the adapter plugs then go to the local car parts shop halfords or something and get a extra battery for a 10er and you can run it where ever you want, I have a few things that plug into that type of socket and I use them on the beach when I am out fishing.

i think you can buy 240v AC to 12v DC ciggarette lighter socket adapters, if not you could get creative with a 12v DC adapter and a socket with solder tags....
