Anyone know where to get a brighter bulb for this dinosaur or have an idea for replacing it with LED or something?

I’m having zero luck figuring it out on my own.

It’s an LW Scientific, model: Achiever

    As it is a Fluorescent bulb you probably can’t just retrofit leds to the contact as there maybe is a starter for the bulb. Probably best way is to use a multimeter and take some measurements around the lighting circuit(please be careful as this needs to be done when it’s on). You then probably need a some transformer to get lower voltage and DC.
