Bad idea to take new grow lights with me in checked baggage to Mexico?

I'm in the US but moving back soon to my apartment in Mexico, gonna fly back via Tijuana.

Grow lights themselves aren't illegal right?

Was gonna take two 240W Kingbrite quantum boards, they're not too big.

Just wondering if I'd have any problems with US or Mexico customs.

Prolly not an issue, but wanted to check first.

Might get checked if your bag gets flagged going thru the X-ray and they want a closer look but can't see anything illegal about it. If they do check you can expect a visit from the local cops about 3 months after you get back home. ;)

Good luck!

If the cost of those boards is worth potentially getting busted then go for it.

Why not just flog them off second hand and buy a new set in Mexico?

Yes I believe Mexico has a Mail system? Buy some when your down there.

Edit- but no there’s nothing illegal about lights

I bought some spider farmer 2000 lights off an auction site and when I picked them up they had a tape that read “ US Customs” on it. I don’t know where they came from or why they had the tape but they did. I thought that was funny

Better off mailing them to yourself, usually cheaper than checked luggage anyways. Besides didn’t Mexico legalize a couple years ago?
