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.
