Company: Iwasaki EYE Lighting Europe
Products: Lamps
Here is the Europe range of EYE lamps. The 2 featured that are most suitable for the project are the MT400SX/HOR and the M400BUH.
You can order these lamps directly from EYE, by ringing the number on the contact page (as I did), but it would be wise to instead ask them to tell you the nearest stockist.
Feedback - (Eyebath) Helpful comms, product is excellent

I'm not sure about the suitability of a few items, but if this is the source for you, give them a ring and find out the specs for their lamps etc.
There are some fully-wired ready-to-go rigs available here, but at a price...

This is where I bought a ceramic lamp holder. There are also grow lights and hydrophonic kits sold here.
Feedback - (Eyebath) - Mix up with the order meant they claimed they'd sent it when they hadn't. Rectified it by sending a new one which arrived the next morning. Great product, recommended.
