Shortly after touchdown, during rollout, the pilot indicated that the right wing had lifted causing the aircraft to veer to the left in a sliding type of motion. The pilot did not want to apply excessive brakes and the aircraft subsequently went off the runway, struck a runway light and came to a stop. The pilot indicated that he heard a sound and believed it was due to the impact of the runway light by the left gear. Subsequently, the pilot taxied back on to the runway and proceeded to the ramp to park the aircraft. After performing an exterior inspection of the aircraft, the pilot indicated that no visible signs of damage from the impact were observed. Airport operations confirmed that one broken runway light was found on the left side of the runway near where the aircraft landed. FAA inspector on scene found no damage to aircraft.
