Can I use NiMH batteries instead of NiCads in my...

There is a brief moment in a person's life where experience has taught it's
lessons, and just before alzheimers takes what time has given. Don't assume
that someone giving advise is outside the bubble, just because you are.

Interesting enough, that faster charge, can be a problem. I doubt is
many modern units will have any problem, but may old units would. The
faster charge capability can cause overheating of the capacitors and if
repeated flashes are used the flash tube may also overheat.

Back when NiCads came in this was a serious problem.

Do keep in mind that NiMH batteries self-discharge much faster than NiCads (in
the order of weeks instead of months) so double check them if you haven't used
the flash in ages! It's their only downpoint when compared with NiCads and a
minor one at that.

Far as I know there is no problem

Not only safe, but preferable and recommended.

NiMh batteries do not have to be discharged before recharging as NiCads do.
They can be charged at any time.
Also... They will actually charge your flash faster than alkalines.
