I haven't used this particular light, but I have a lot of electronic gadgets and I really like proprietary batteries. I think dealing with 8 rechargable C-cells all the time would be a PITA. It's a lot easier to just plug the charger into the battery pack. The only downside to proprietary batteries is that they are usually more expensive. But $65 for the UK nicad pack is a good deal. You might spend more than that on 8 rechargable C-cells and a charger.
