Re: [Frameworks] traveling with a light kit on an international flight?
Hi: So or flying, you can find a link to the TSA site on my page http://www.gladstonefilms.com/links2.html I didn't see anything about bulbs. I expect that the TSA might buss more over carrying fragile mercury containing bulbs in the passenger compartment. You might try calling a bulb manufacturer and ask them that question - which leads me to recommend Lowell lighting. Lowell also makes compact flourescents that are flicker free, have a High CRI and are daylight balanced (no green.) SO I'd recommend giving them a call. My gut reaction says that there isn't that much of a pressure difference and I don't think the bulbs will crack from that - more likely from rough handling so pack them well. People have been shipping tungsten halogen bubls for a long time in lights with no issues from pressure and the tungsten halogen bulbs are under a lot of pressure.

Re: [Frameworks] traveling with a light kit on an international flight?
I think people carry light bulbs in the cabin and in the luggage bin all the time without problems. I think wrapping them so they don't crack when the luggage gets jostled around is more of an issue.

[Frameworks] Bolex MST Motor Car Adapter
Hi, Does anyone have advice on how to power a Bolex MST motor from a car? Perhaps someone in the Los Angeles area has a car adapter for a 12v NiCd battery to lend? Feel free to contact me off-list.

Re: [Frameworks] Bolex MST Motor Car Adapter
There is a kind of adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter that produces ... hmm... I'm not sure exactly. I once used it to light the inside of a car for filming (video). I would suggest going to eBay and looking for car cigarette lighter adapter and see what pops up.
