## Discrepancy

BURNING RUBBER ODOR AT INITIAL POWER UP ON TAXI  OUT.  THEN ON TAKE OFF ROLL. ODOR GOES AWAY IN  ABOUT 10 SECONDS.  TURNED ON ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS.  DETECTED A BURNING ODOR.  TURNED OFF LIGHTS WOULD DIMINISH THE ODOR.  PULLED DOWN LIGHT OVERRIDE PANEL, AND NOTICE LIGHT SWITCH ARCING.   R & R LIGHT OVERIDE CONTROL PANEL ASSY IAW AMM 20-60-00,  GROUND OPS CHECKED ALL LIGHTS ON CONTROL PANEL.  ALL CHECKED GOOD, NO FUTHER ODOR NOTICED, ACFT OK FOR CONTINUED SERVICE AT THIS TIME.
