LED lightbulbs

I have been using LED lightbulbs for a while now. They are more expensive to buy than fluorescents but they last a lot longer and use minimal electricity (less than fluorescents).

At my new address I have more ceiling lights and need to buy some, but have encountered a slight problem.

Two of the ceiling lights are of a type I have never seen before. They have conventional shaped fluorescent bulbs but they 'push on' -(not bayonet or screw) - and they have 4 pins (two each side of a central square block shape).

I have browsed umpteen sellers of lightbulbs and haven't even seen any bulbs identical to the ones I want to replace. I have seen some spiral and rod fluorescents with 4 pins, but none that are conventional shaped, so I don't even have a proper description of the two bulbs I want to replace with LED.

The lettering on the bulbs say - "RING GLS 13W G24q-12700K"

If there are any lighting experts amongst you, can you please advise me whether there are likely to be LED equivalents on sale. I know LED are gaining in popularity but the full range of wattage equivalents aren't easily available yet, especially the ones which provide the equivalent of high wattage.
