## Discrepancy

FOUND THAT THE RTV USED ON A RECENTLY INSTALLED LIGHT WAS EMITTING A SMELL FROM THE OVERHEAD CABIN LIGHTS.  APPLIED 10 DAY MEL TO THOSE LIGHTS IN ORDER TO ORDER A SEALANT THAT IS MORE SUITABLE (HIGHER TEMP),AND PULLED CIRCUIT BREAKER TO THESE LIGHTS.  THE TEMPERATURE OF THESE LIGHTS WAS COMPLETELY RESEARCHED TO FIND THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION.
