RSM Lights?T5's?

I have had my RSM for about a year now and I was wondering where you get the T5 bubls. I have the power compacts, or at least what looks like PC's.They look like this...

I believe that is the only thing that is going to fit in the RSM. They are special PC-T5's from my understanding, so your sorta stuck with those.

This online store sells replacement parts for the RSM, including the lights.

The benifit to T-5's, over PC's is the shape and the fact that they can therefore accomodate individual reflectors. Due to the PC shape, they are more likely similar to PC's. The "T-5" most likely indicates that the tube is 5/8" diameter, but it is still just a PC light....
