Not sure if its the same thing, but I picked up one of those lighting kits from an Auto Parts store that had a pair of "bulbs" at the dimension you stated. For a quick & dirty solution to powering the thing, turns out Radio Shack has a wall wart that converts AC into and presents a standard cigarette lighter plug power.

Perhaps some EL wire laid out to meet your
circular requirement.

I just used some for a sequenced christmas display.
