I have an Anker 5 port 40 watt charger - it can charge 5 things at once even if they're drawing a lot of power. It's an awesome charger and is only $25. It auto-detects what kind of thing is plugged in, iPhone, Android, tablet, iPad, whatever, and switches the port to match the attached device.
My lights only need charging every 3 or 4 days of riding. I just plug one set in as soon as I get home, switch to another before bed if needed. I don't have that many lights but I have one or two cameras to charge as well, and I have my phone on the charger every night and a pair of bluetooth headsets that I swap out every 2 days or so.
Sometimes I charge stuff at work, I just plug it into the PC where there are 4 USB plugs and I have a handful of cables (they're about $3 each, buy a bunch).
You likely have MANY USB ports available to plug things into, and cables are cheap.
