I use one on the seatstay of my Hilsen in Seattle and have not had an issue with rain. I did have one come off my helmet (I didn't have it strapped in too well) and finally meet its demise. I had it bounce off bags at least 3 or 4 times before it finally broke. I count it as a solid bright light. Another one I have been using lately is the Blackburn Mars 4.0:

Both AAA and both use rechargeables...
