Continuous spectrum tubes of a given colour temperature ain't cheap and you'll not find them in stock at the usual suppliers. You'll need to order them or go to a specialist.

Hi

The last two digits of the 'colour number' are the colour temperature. So for example an 854 tube is a tri-phosphor tube with a colour temperature of 5400K. A 154 tube is a conventional tube again with a colour temperature of 5400K

The preceding digit is the colour rendering index divided by 10, with 8 being 80%-89%.
