## Discrepancy

DURING MAINTENANCE INSPECTION FOUND THE AFT EMERGENCY EXIT LIGHT IN AISLE CEILING INOPERABLE.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  RESEATED BULB IN AFT EMERGENCY EXIT AISLE CEILING AS REQUIRED.  NO PARTS REMOVED OR REPLACED.  THE OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS GOOD.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
