How bright is the Coast TP9R?

It is rated at 1500 lumens on its highest setting, which is bright enough to light up a yard or a trail. Lower modes stretch runtime.

What batteries does it use?

It takes two CR123A batteries. These are disposable cells that keep well in storage but cost more over time than rechargeables.

No. The TP9R runs only on CR123A cells, so there is no built-in charging or rechargeable pack.

Three modes. They let you drop from full output to lower settings to save battery.

It is on the large side for a pocket and runs on CR123A cells, so it fits duty, camping and emergency use better than light daily carry.

Rechargeable lights are cheaper to run and often add more modes. The TP9R's edge is simple operation and cells that stay ready for long periods.
