Flying with MV lamps

[Martin Hough]

Never had a problem with bulbs- but a big heavy choke with wires coming out
of it caused alarm in Thailand _ (they insisted I plugged it in and
demonstrated before I was allowed on board)
One tip- it's a good idea to bring a manufacturer's catalogue with a picture
of a moth trap- saves a lot of explanation in funny languages!.
