You mean the fluro tubes or the standard bulbed lights? Osbourne Lighting is probably your best bet here in Australia for the standard bulb lights. Otherwise I'd say you'd have to import them. Do you have any photos of your project? Just out of interest

Osborne lighting has recently closed down, I believe they are now trying to quit all of the stock they had.

I have no idea, prob the smaller type, I was thinking or having 3 colours, 4 bulbs linked together, 12 bulbs on each arm in banks of 2, theres 6 arms, total 72 lights. I was going to put the lights down each arm. I have 2 slip rings, active an nutral, so the controler would need to be mounted in the centre somewhere. (hope there small) a basic controller

the ones you are looking for are VSV turbo lights. We have a cup and saucer and use them. Try getting LED lights instead of the regular bulbs as they dont burn out - but come at a price

check out http://www.nationalsupplyonline.com/VSV_Cabochon.html which has some pretty good info.
