Narrative:
Fellow employee informed me that the FAA inspector had found a missing lens at right aft bulkhead inboard of R4 door. Fellow employee replaced backplate and lens. I will be more diligent in the inspection of emergency lights. I did my inspection between XA45 and XB30; the fellow employee and FAA inspector found the problem after XH30 so there was a 6 hour period where several people had been through aircraft and possibly causing the damage.
