## Discrepancy

ESCAPE PATH LIGHTING IS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED UPON TAKEOFF.   AFTER DIMING THE CABIN LIGHTS WE NOTICED THAT THE ESCAPE LIGHTING WAS NOT ILLUMINATED.  TURNED ON ALL CABIN LIGHTING & OPENED WINDOW SHADES & ALLOWED PHOTO ILLUMINATION FLOOR ESCAPE PATH LIGHT STRIPS TO CHARGE.  PHOTO ILLUMINATION LIGHTING BECAME BRIGHTER, CMM 33-51-06 NO OPERATIONS CHECK REQUIRED, ACFT OK FOR SERVICE.
