NEXTorch UT 51 Signal Band

NEXTorch industries has just released a new safety product intended for first responders and emergency workers, the new NEXTorch UT 51 Red Blue Flashing Signal Band. The UT 51 is a signaling device that can be worn on the body, as a wrist band, arm band, around the ankle or any round shape to free up your hands. Alternatively, this safety signaling device may be placed on objects to signal hazards or to get the attention of other people.

NEXTorch engineered this state-of-the-art safety device/body band from a translucent fabric that glows and refracts light from a built-in LED module. It powers itself via a built in 150 mAh lithium-ion battery that provides long run times and can be charged directly via any USB-C charging cable. The UT 51 has five modes consisting of red flashing, blue flashing, red and blue flashing, red solid or blue solid. Due to the nature of its design, the UT 51 can easily be rolled up and stowed away when not in use and weighs only 1.3 ounces. Besides public safety and emergency signaling, the UT 51 can also be useful to runners or anyone else moving along passing traffic who needs to stand out from the background. Hunters and hikers can also use the Ut 51 Signal Band as a landmark or a beacon as they traverse the back country.

NEXTorch UT 51 Red Blue Flashing Signal Band Features:

  • 360 Degree view
  • Rechargeable via USB-C cable
  • Waterproof Rating: IPX4
  • Impact Resistance: 6.5 feet
  • Battery: Built-in 150 mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery
