## Discrepancy

CLT - MAINTENANCE FOUND 50 PERCENT OF THE EMERGENCY LOW LEVEL LIGHTING INOP.  MAINTENANCE FOUND A LOW LEVEL LIGHTING CANNON PLUG BAD.  WHEN CANNON PLUG WAS HANDLED AND SHAKEN, LIGHTS FLICKERED.  WIRES WERE PULLED AND APPEARED TO BE OVERCRIMPED WHEN INSTALLED.  REPLACED CANNON PLUG.  OPERATIONAL CHECK GOOD.  (M)
