Why can’t I place diving lamps in my check-in baggage?
Diving lamps are a potential hazard because they can be switched on accidentally through shocks or vibrations that may occur during transportation. The heat from the light source can cause a fire in the cargo hold of the aircraft.
The transport of diving lamps is permitted only in hand baggage. During flight, the light source or energy source must be removed.
For diving lamps equipped with a power switch arrestor, it is sufficient to activate this arrestor.
