Hi
 It is most likely a balast and not a simple transformer.
They can usually be replaced by another balast of the same
wattage. These can be bought from electrical shops. The bulbs
are a little harder to find but they can be ordered from
most any electrical shop ( they are expensive, having quartz
glass tubes ).
