My grandson left one of those yellow 1,000,000 candle power lanterns on, and then put it face down on his dad's bed. The bed caught fire and was a total loss. Yep.
I may have not explained myself properly.
I completely understand seperating the head from the battery unit
to stop exactly the above, they do get very very hot in air (fine obviously
underwater

)
What I can't understand is why we're asked to actually
remove the lamp itself from the head unit provided
we've split them already.
There's no way the electricity can jump from the battery in
one bag to the head in another (Tesla excepted

).
And I can't understand why if we show this at check in, why they have
to go in the hand baggage if that's done.
Thanks
