My company sells a module like that, called a lamp commander.

You are supposed to say "Lamp commander, lights on" and it turns on the
lights.

Comes in a box about as big as your fist, plugs into the socket.  You can
buy them in the US at various retail stores.
I think it uses a Zilog Z-XXXX  chip and one of those Sensory Systems voice
recognition chips.

We found that it is not very descriminating, you could say "Camp GerryMander
Bites On" and the lights would still come on
It also responded well to  "Captain Kirk Lights One"
and several other more humourous and scatological phrases which don't bear
repeating.

Call 1-800-947-3744 and they can probably tell you where they are sold.
