I've never looked but I suspect those are 110V regular tubes and there's a power supply in the fixture to covert from 12V DC to 110V AC. Take a look at the tube at each end, there should be make and tube type information. Once you have the type number you should be able to get a replacement anywhere they sell those. Looks to me like a T12 but check to make sure.

I’ve got a different model Carver, but I just pulled my old one, got the number, went to my local big box store, and matched it up to a LED bulb. Nothing special about the bulb.
