Help finding reading light bulb for 2017 scamp

I have a 1017 scamp with the round LED reading lamps. One of the bulbs has fallen out and is hanging by its wires. Not the fixture just the bulb. Does anyone know what is the replaxcement bulb for this. It is not on the scamp parts page. Thanks John

Thanks for the reply. Yes it is still working. I did think of super glue but that could glue solid to the base. Calk may be by Better but I wanted to avoid this approach if the bulb was cheap. I did see the one you linked to on Amazon but was unsure if it was the same bulb or not. I have not been able to get the bulb base out yet to look for part numbers or base style.

Super Glue?

Hi,

Super Glue not a good choice as it requires the joint
to be very tight... It has little gap filling properties.
For loose joints you do not wish to open again I find
that JB Weld Kwik is a good alternative...

Caulking would work better and you would still be able
to remove the bulb for replacement. Go easy on the amount.

Look on E-Bay, I installed those lamps to replace the reading lamps on my 2004 Scamp and I bought them on E-Bay.
I had one of mine fall apart and, upon examination, I discovered that it reattached

I think they would be great boat lights,
but in our rolling earthquakes, not so much.

Thanks to AC0GV for posting the pic.. since there was no Scamp built in 1017 I did not understand that this is the new style reading light. But once I saw the photo, I realized that the same thing happened to me . The bulb actual comes apart from its base and dangles by the wires.

IIRC I used some JB Weld. IDK if it will hold long term but its been OK for a few trips.

The bulb that came apart on me was a replacement that I got from a high quality supplier - not from China. So I guess the design is the problem. I rarely use these lights anyway so if it fails again I might replace them with a surface mount fixture that does not shake so much.

I've been on a boat is some rough seas that make the trailer on the highway seem motionless in comparison.
