28V DC 'Cigarette lighter' sockets...

Hi All, The R44 II DC 'cigarette lighter' socket is, as i'm sure you all know, a 28V socket, but many appliance chargers that me and my passengers would like to use/charge (video camera, iPhone/iPad etc...) all have input ranges of 12-14V or something similar. Infact the only things that seem to accept input ranges of 12-28V are aviation specific GPS units.

Are there any step-down splitters or the like that would reduce the voltage, and perhaps even double the outputs to 2 usable sockets? I have looked on google and maplin etc... but either that are hard to come by or I am searching using the wrong terms.... Surely there must be something to fit the bill...

Closest thing i could find is this Double Way Car Cigarette Lighter Adapter Splitter With Extension Cable From China Manufacturer, auto vehicle two manufacturer. but i assume that the output voltage would simply be the same as the input voltage, as opposed to stepping it down in any way...?

Thanks
