I use a M*g Magnum Star Xenon 4 cell bulb in my TEC40. It's brighter than stock, but not as bright as 103. Should be quite robust though!
Nimh are kinda hard to use in an older TEC 40 do to the way batts connect at the bottom. New ones either do or will soon use springs down there.

I just tried to use some Nimh in mine, and found that out. I just bought my Tec-40 from REI last week so no springs have been added yet unless it was NOS. I've also decided to stick with the Mag 4 cell Magnum star bulbs. It's brighter, and has a much cleaner beam than the stock bulb. I'm also fairly certain that it will have a nice long lifespan, important if I end up using it for the reason I bought it.
