It is just general 20w halogen bulb. You can use same 12v bulbs what many halogen lights have. Any electric shop will have them. I think i paid ~50cents each.
There also is different power specification bulbs. You can choose 15w, 20w, 25w etc. But don't take too powerful ones, they can melt your light...

Had same prob as you here in the colonies.
Check the lighting dept of any dept store.
Usually replacement for halogen desk lamps.12V
Pins same size but a little wider spaced , squeeze closer and insert.
I have 50W in mine - super bright and not on long enough for heat build up.3 years , no probs
