You should only use D-Lightning if you're shooting jpeg or if you'll process your raws with Nikon's software (Capture NX 2).
D-Lightning does an amazing job, but it tends to underexpose the image (to protect highlights) and non-Nikon's software will just process your raw as an underexposed raw (that's why you see the noise). They can't handle D-Lightning.
That's why some of my photos had noise when you zoom it in dark spots. I'm using LR 3 and don't have Capture NX 2. Anyway, i'll keep that in mind. Thank you Sylvie and Bruno Alves for the response.
