If you just want something to 'Plug and play'?
As the above < www.x10.com > site indicates you will pay somewhere between
$25 and say $60 dollars for something you can just plug into the wall
outlet. And it may have the capacity to operate several lamps? Maybe that's
more capacity and size than you want?
However; "don't look a gift (horse) in the mouth"!
The other freely provided suggestions are useful!
For example; you could screw that $15 bulb gadget into something, plug that
something into an outlet and plug a table lamp into that adapter/sensor?
It all depends if you can be a bit ingenious, how much you want to spend and
how simple and or unobtrusive you want it to be etc.?

I have a gadget that simply replaced the light switch in the garage.
I think I bought it at Lowes... maybe $10, if that.

I looked there and couldn't even find a tabletop unit that would control a
lamp.

I just want a tabletop motion sensor that can control 1 lamp in 1 room.

I want to spend as little as I can. :)

Did you try http://www.google.com ?

http://www.x10.com/products/x10_ms14a.htm

And so on.

Cheers!

Hacking? Moron! Do you know what "a tabletop motion sensor that controls a
light" means?!

GFY. If you can't figure out that the unit in the link above is
sitting on a table top, then you must be merely a troll.

Thanks for the flagrant display of your character shortcomings, nitwit.

But I was actually looking for a completely self contained unit, not to
have to go out & buy a whole X10 system. A box that sits on a desktop and
senses motion, then switches on a lamp that's plugged into it. Is that more
clear?

Yes. And it's also clear that you're not interested in an automatic
wall plate switch, a la Mr. Thompson's wall plate.

And it is now clear that you also have no interest in spending your own
time on researching possible solutions, other than the time you spend
whining at those who do try to help, that "That's not what I was looking
for", even in the face of the fact that you have exactly as much power
to do such legwork as all of those people whom you seem intent on
wheedling into doing such work.

So, go fuck yourself.

I think the answer you're looking for is: No. No-one makes exactly what
you're looking for. If you're not prepared to do some rolling of your
own or live with a slightly different configuration, you're absolutely
out of luck. End of story.
