From my experience traveling with lighting equipment for cave diving, TSA usually doesn’t care. It just needs to be in your carry on. I’ve had TSA worry about lights once and had to show it was packed in a way that it could not accidentally turn on. They are worried about it being in an overhead bin and accidentally turn on, heat up, and cause a fire. I have had friends though that had to get a supervisor and pull up the TSA website and rules on their phone. Sometimes large lights are a grey area since one rule would classify them as an electronic device (if battery is built in and attached) which doesn’t have maximum battery size or quantity limit. The other rule covers spare uninstalled batteries which has a max of two under 160wh. Hope this helps

I’m sure it will depend on the agent. I had issues in a outbound flight and airport that didn’t happen on the return flight. Definitely agent discretion seems to be the practice.

I literally took this light to TSA to ask management here at Burbank airport and they said they would not allow me.. thank God I went and asked the day before my flight.. I actually told the company about the issue.. they tried to give me some letter but it didn't State the correct thing.

The rule is less than 100 watt lithium ion, which is why you’ll see many brands making 99 watt batteries. So if the 60 is 60 watts it should be fine

Has anyone had TSA issues with the Inkee 60? Technically, it's supposed to be higher battery capacity than allowed. The 30 is ok, just wondering about the 60.
