## Discrepancy

IN FLIGHT, THE READING LIGHTS IN COACH CABIN AB STARTED FLICKERING AND A BURNING ODOR FOLLOWED.  THE ROTARY SWITCH ON F/A PANEL DID NOT KILL THE POWER.  MX UNLATCHED PASS SERVE POWER SWITCH ON THE L1 DOOR OF THE F/A PANEL WHICH KILLED THE POWER TO THE AFFECTED LIGHT AND THE ODOR DISSIPATED.  MX THEN RAN CABIN LIGHTS FOR 2 HOURS AFTER RESETTING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER. SYS OPS IS NORMAL.
