    You want a common "F8T5CW" which is 12" long. These can be found in the sporting goods/flashlight section of most large stores. This particular lamp is very common in fluorescent camp lanterns and battery powered fluorescent flashlights.

    Some hardware stores like Home Depot put them in with the other sizes of fluorescent tubes. BTW, the "CW" suffix on the tube number means "cool white" color of the light emitted.
