Yes, They are a pretty nice little light. I use it on the surface too when I'm camping. I had it flicker on me once, but that was when it wasn't turned on all the way, and we descended. The finish is coming off of mine already though.

Just some quick info on cells...
AA, AAA etc. dry cells are 1.5V per cell
NiCd (Ni-Cad) or NiMh (Nickel Metal) rechargeable cells in the same size as above runs 1.2V per cell nominal. They actually run higher voltage when fully charged, but not for long.
CR123 dry cells are 3.0V per cell
Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) or LiPo (Lithium Polymer) rechargeable cells in the same size as above run 3.6V or 3.7V nominal per cell. They actually run 4.2V per cell fully charged.
So... If you replace your AAA's in a Raider I with rechargeable NiMh's you'll be running lower nominal voltage. If you replace your CR123's in a Raider IV with Li-Ion's you'll be running a higher nominal voltage (substantially more when the cells are freshly charged).
How this affects the lights I don't know. Maybe someone else can provide some info?
Later,
Willem
