Any clues where I could find one of these (or similar) in NZ?

Plenty on alibaba, but I don't want to wait a week or more for delivery.

Needed for some workplace Christmas lights, and yep, I know I've probably left it too late.

Thanks.

I dont know if they stock in NZ but if I recall I got my HD Homerun from them overnight.

Ive tried using a similar looking switch (but micro USB) on a raspberry pi before, but it had considerable voltage drop and make it have the rainbow icon all the time. Probably wont notice much if its just a short light string tho.

Head to your local Jaycar and buy a switch and a little case?

5 minutes of soldering and mounting the switch, job done.
