It's really a spiral fluorescent bulb? I've seen 13 watt fluorescent bulbs that plug in but they just look like little tubes that make a "U" shape. If it has the same plug in base you could still use those. Check your local hardware store or Lowes/Home Depot/Menards

Seems your lamp is not listed any longer at the manufacturer's website:
RHINE (http://www.rhine-e.com.tw/)
Click on "Lamp" in the left menu.
It probably is equal to the FSP13EL/4P,and uses the lamp socket # GX24q-1, which is a popular socket. Be sure any lamp you use has this base and does not exceed 13 watts.
If the big hardware stores do not carry a compatible lamp, try a real electrical distributor or a lighting supplier.

I opened the website by clicking on the link I provided. To the left is a Windows Explorer style menu, showing folders and folders.
Starts at the Top "About Rhine" then Contact Us, fourth folder down is Ballast and Lamp, second file down is Lamp.
It is a childish website, you think with the money we send to Asia they could spend more money on decent websites.
