Thank you, i did thonk ofvjust buying a new one but
A. Im really attached to mine
B. Shipping is more than the cost of the light!
I just linked to his product page for convenience…contact info on the site. He might be faster with advice/experience than waiting for CRX to appear (much as we would all love to have him back here regularly again!).
Just saw the 14500 bit…oops. 
Been there.
I would imagine that your emitter is just fine after that, likely poofed a chip on the driver, but I don’t know how those are configured. Jackson probably can’t help you with a new driver, but possibly so……not sure if Jack could anymore either but it might be worth an email to him (or to Ivy, his new CS rep….firefly-outdoor.com).
Great idea thank you, its nice and friendly here i think i’ll stay and share some of my other lights!
Is it the copper you like, or the shape? you can pick up a copper tool aa pretty cheap on aliexpress sometimes, and they are 14500 safe.
Yeah the shape is just too good, that smooth solid billet is just amazing
