HomeFinlandMoi, I used to buy these 2G7 9W bulbs at K-rauta, I’ve checked several stores in the Helsinki area and I can’t find them anywhere. Is the 2G7 9W no longer sold? I don’t think the G23 9W bulbs I saw on the shelves fit the socket.

That type of lamp (loisteputki) isn’t anymore made or imported into EU, as it contains mercury. Some online stores sell LED version of it, but that type of lamp is not common anymore, so it’s not easy to find LED replacement from local stores to it. For longer tube lights (for example in bathroom mirror cabinet) LED tubes are really easy to find.
If you are renting; I would contact landlord and ask them about replacement bulb or lamp. If you’re a property owner, I would just ask electrician to change the lamp fixture to newer one with LED.

They have been banned but some stores may still have old stock left like:

Have you asked an employee?
You can thank the EU for that.
I recently bought an led version in a supermarket in Kirkkonummi (sale), but yeah, the real deal is history.
I bought led version recently online from class ohlson
Theyre no longer sold… Had to buy like 30 bulbs last time i was in store 😁
