Read my sig line, and Black Bear 84's threads.

Black Bear lights look like fantastic car lights for officers, and other people that use their flashlight on a daily basis, but I honestly don't think that NiMH or even alkaline flashlights are a good idea for the average person considering that often they buy a light, toss it somewhere, and only pull it out when they need it. And more often then not the batteries are either dead or dieing.
I use NiMH in my flash units for my photography, I always have to be sure that I charge the batteries (both my AA's and my large belt mounted high voltage pack), the lithiums that I keep in the battery bay in one of my flash units (the one that I use the high voltage pack with), have lasted over a year and are still chugging along, while after a week or two my NiMH can barely charge the capacitors.
