Ive got this light and it is a BIG light! One of the much better Coasts out there. I use 3 10000mah NiMH Tenergy cells and it works great! Yes by all means invest in some GOOD NiMH D cells for it for max performance I hope you have a good NiMH charger that can handle D cells (any MAHA that can charge D's) will do. Enjoy the light!

You definitely won't need to carry a billy-club!

...has amazing throw range. Best out of any of the Coast lights I believe and better than most its LED Lenser cousins as well. Just charged my HP17 Tenergy cells. Think Ill take it for a walk tonight

I plan to use either Tenergy or EBL D cells. Thanks.

EBL? Dont know them unless the E stands for Energizer lol. Have had amazing luck with Tenergy 10000mah cells must have and use a dozen. I keep the Tenergys in my HP17 wrapped in a sheet of newspaper to keep them from rattling

just make sure when you order it that you are indeed getting the new XP-L 970 lumen version and not the old one
