The only info I could find associated with that model # was This , you may want to contact current-usa via their website for confirmation.

In my humble opinion... LED all the way these days.

I'd take it in to your lfs and see if they have bulbs for it. It is one of the later versions with a bulb length of about 44"--might be a T4. They should have bulbs, which you can plug in and try on the spot, or they could order them for you.

I would ask that when you contact them. Since it's a discontinued product it's possible you won't be able to find parts.

I would also add that I wouldn't buy new bulbs IF you find what type they take just in case the fixture does not work. See if your LFS would let you test it at the store with their bulbs if they allow you to do that.
