November 10, 201114 yr In my last to flights at night with the 737-700wl the dome light switches on shortly after reaching the top of descent. The switch stays off, but the light is on and can't be switched off. During the approach it turns off automatically. Someone else with this problem?
November 10, 201114 yr Emm, not sure..., but wasn't that an option, that can be changed in FMC setup/options?
November 10, 201114 yr Author No, it is not an option. The suggestion it is the emergency lighting is a good one, although I'm sure I had no failures at that moment.Next time it happens I will try the emergency lighting switch.

November 12, 201114 yr Author Quick update after my last flight. It's indeed the emergency lighting system that switches on. No idea why it behaves like that: I have no single failure, no warning lights, nothing. At 8000ft it turns off again; makes me think it has something to do with the pressure. Anyone an idea? (I forgot to test pressing 'i'; will try that next flight).
