should be fine. as long as the ends of the bulb will mate to your fixture. you can put any wattage bulb in that you want. if you need more light I would suggest going with a 32W bulb. but, what you have will work fine.

Yes any 18 watt lamp of the same type will work, you cannot increase the lamp wattage as it is dependent on the control gear. The lamps you have may be called ActiViva and are a recent development by Philips lighting to combat SAD.

Daylight 6500°K full spectrum lamp with near perfect colour rendering index (Ra) of 98%. The Activa 172 range are ideal for use in design, print and publishing where excellent light quality and supreme colour rendering are paramount.
Also emitting a tiny amount of UV light, these lamps are the closest available alternative to natural daylight and ideal for counteracting the effects of SAD.
The lamp will give you no problems has a replacement

When using the floucesent tubes as light sabers do not hit anything as they explode with minimal contact.
Sorry do not know anything about electrics but I am sure you will have fun pretending to be luke skywalker.
may the force be you!
