## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMB, AT APROX 14,000 FT CREW NOTICED GEN LIGHT ILLUMINATE.  CREW COMPLIED WITH CHECKLIST AND AFTER CONFERRING WITH DISPATCHER, RETURNED TO EWR.  CREW DID NOT DECLARE EMERGENCY BUT EWR TOWER DISPATCHED EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT.  THE FLIGHT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  REMOVED AND REPLACED LT DC GEN.
