BTW we have 240Kg to play with - 90Kg of scooters and 150Kg for everything else...
My understanding is that batteries need to be separated. Here's a link to BA's Dangerous goods guide. Looking at that..which also has a section regarding diving lamps ...I think you need to contact the airline

I flew back last week with three light heads and a laptop in my hand luggage (plus four regs, two back up lights and gauges) without any issues. I would strongly recommend seperating the light heads and the batteries (heads in your hand luggage, batteries in hold luggage labeled as per Rob's post).

I've been challenged on one occasion as 'bright lights' are seen as suspect as they can be used to blind air crew. Pointing out that there is no battery accessible whilst in the air seemed to pacify them.

That and the fact that it's now nearly impossible to get onto the flight deck after pushback!
