NEXTORCH ND30B Civilian Electronic Distraction Device

NEXTORCH has announced the ND30B Civilian Electronic Distraction Device. Described as a powerful distraction device designed to deliver intense light and sound, the ND30B provides a non-lethal means to create a tactical advantage. The device can be used as a tool for training or for real-world scenarios without any of the risks associated with pyrotechnics.

Based on the company’s video online, I wouldn’t compare the NEXTORCH ND30B to a flashbang, but it works on a similar principle. While it is a civilian-friendly platform, NEXTORCH says the device is engineered to meet the needs of law enforcement and military operations. The ND30B emits a blinding 360-degree 11,000-lumen strobe and a piercing 130dB of audio, effectively distracting and disorienting intruders or personal threats.

The NEXTORCH ND30B is built from aerospace aluminum and hard anodized for durability, so it can be thrown, rolled, or even dropped from up to 10 feet and still function reliably. It is also IPX7 water resistant, meaning it can be submerged in water 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes without sustaining damage, one of the highest water resistance ratings and the first level of true waterproofing. Whether in use for training, as a distraction device, or signaling for help in remote locations, the ND30B is built for hard use.

The ND30B is powered by a rechargeable USB-C lithium-ion battery that provides hundreds of uses per charge, meaning it can be reused multiple times. Four programmable modes adapt the device to different scenarios using quick signals or sustained deterrent effects, with safety features including customizable strobe durations and programmable activation delays.

“The NEXTORCH ND30B is the ultimate tool for tactical professionals seeking a reliable, powerful, and safe distraction device… With its advanced features and rugged design, the ND30B ensures you are always prepared for any situation,” said Jordan Brothers, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
