Do police officers that use MagLites usually use 4 cell or 6 cell MagLites?

The D 6 cells were way too heavy for regular use. D 4 were OK. C cells were always easier to use 4 or 6 cell.
The Mag Star which is rechargeable and very bright was the size of a 4 D cell. OK to handle but a pain after a while, especially when on foot patrol.
We have went over to small lights that are more powerful and ca be carried easily, so you always have a light. We also went to collapsible batons so you did not need a 6 cell. The batons work better than the 6 cells anyway, better balance.
The original heavy duty aluminum police light was not Mag but K-Lite. (same designer)
TV shows and marketing made the Mag more popular.
