no but you can take all the stuff out of the lamp and fit a flat board of smd led which come with a few connectors on ebay 10 can be bought for about 6.50 pure white or soft which you can put a few in a row and solder the wires together in parallel,hope this helps.

I bought 3 sets of these 2 x Warm White 15 LED Strip Lights 12V DC for Cars Caravans Boats SWB Vans 25cm | eBay I replaced the tube lights and the switches on two of them and they are terrific and much brighter than the tubes. Hope this helps

With mine I unsoldered the switch connection and removed the circuit board to save and soldered the new wiring to the switch
