Narrative:
I was assigned to aircraft X to perform ETOPS #1 inspection and ps check. Found per inspection the right overwing middle emergency light assembly with a bulb inoperative. Close to departure time, I was still unable to get to the assembly due to loading equipment in the way of the lift to get up. Supervisor told me to write it up and he would take care of it.
