12Watt circular fluorescent in UK

[Alex]

I hope you specialists can help me.

Here in the UK I have a magnifying table lamp at home with built-in
illumination.

It uses a 12 Watt circular fluorescent bulb (outer diameter 12cm, inner
diameter 10cm). The bulb has some sleeving with the pins on the very
outermost part - if you see what I mean.

I am having a bit if trouble locating this as most circular fluorescents
I come across seem to be rated at a higher higher power.

Is there a standard ref number for this bulb which I can use to search?

Or does anyone know where, in the UK, I can get this?

Yes sir. Thank you!

I bought the lamp several years ago from Maplin and at the time they
listed spare bulbs in their catalogue.

However in all that time Maplin have never stocked a replacement bulb
which is annoying and inconvenient.

Isn't there some UK regulation about making spare parts or consumables
available for a minimum period of time?
