So, there's the circular bulb itself, and also this little removable plastic cylinder with two metal feet on it. How do I tell which of them needs replacing, and what specification to look for to know what to replace it with?

Buy an LED oyster lamp of the same diameter and replace the whole thing.
Instant light, cheaper light, and no more bulb replacements required.
Happy cake day!
Yeah that's what I ended up doing. Spent way too long in the store staring at the packet like an idiot, because the box said "use with LED replacement starter" but I couldn't figure out if said starter was included in the box or a separate purchase. After about 5 minutes of trying to figure it out I realised I could just open the box and see: yup, it was included.
I don't think they even still sell the fluoro type. The sell the starters aplenty, but not new bulbs.
100% replace. Every time (three times) I've tried to deal with round fluro it was a major fuck around that didn't work out.
