LED Light-Up Cheer Bows
White bows with built-in LEDs that glow any color at the click of a button, one bow per athlete.
$66 USD per bow · 10-bow minimum
For coaches and spirit directors who want the whole squad glowing at competition, night games and showcases: our light-up cheer bows are white bows with built-in LEDs, and the button on each bow sets it to the same colour as your light-up poms. See the light-up cheer bows page for current pack sizes and team pricing.
What are you ordering when you order light-up cheer bows?
The cheer bow your squad already wears, with the light built in. Our light-up cheer bows are white cheer bows with built-in LEDs. Click the button on the bow to change the light colour, or let the bow cycle through the colours. Set every bow to the same colour and the whole squad glows together.
Three things matter for a coach:
- White bows. With the lights off, the bows are white, so they go with any uniform; the light sets the colour.
- One button on each bow. There is no remote or app: every athlete sets their own bow, so agree the colour before the squad goes out.
- About 6 inches. Each bow is about 15.5 by 15 cm (6.1 by 5.9 inches) and about 60 g (2.1 oz), close to a 6-inch cheer bow; see the cheer bow size chart.
- Tails. Tails come straight-cut, or we can cut them into classic triangle cheer-bow tails for your team.
- Team orders. See the light-up cheer bows page for current pack sizes and team pricing.
The order works the way a team pom order does: the coach or spirit director sends the details, and the booster club or the program budget pays.
Where does a light-up bow earn its place, and where is a standard bow right?
A light-up bow works anywhere your squad performs. It glows in regular room lighting and under stage lights, and it stands out most when the lights drop. A standard ribbon bow is still fine for practice and camp.
| Moment | Light-up bow | Standard bow |
|---|---|---|
| Competition day: the mat, the stage under arena lighting, awards | Yes: every athlete in one colour, glowing under the arena lights | The classic look, without the light |
| Night football, on the sideline or the track | Yes: where the squad stands in shadow, the bow still reads from the stands | Reads under the floodlights, fades in the shadow |
| Lights-out openers and lights-down moments: intros, halftime features, light shows | Yes: the bow stays visible when the arena goes dark | Goes dark with the room |
| All-star showcases and exhibitions | Yes: your own show, in front of your own families | Reflects light, doesn’t make it |
| Banquets and senior nights | Yes: the walk-out and the team photo in a dim room | Daytime ceremonies |
| Night parades and homecoming | Yes: visible at curb distance between streetlights | Daytime parades |
| Practice, camp and daytime games | No need | Yes |
Count the performances on your calendar: competitions, night games, openers, showcases and banquets. If the bow will be seen at most of them, a light-up set earns its place. See which venues make light-up gear worth buying, cheer showcase night ideas and cheer banquet ideas.
How do light-up bows match your light-up poms?
By setting them to the same colour. Our light-up LED pom poms change colour by remote, so the whole squad’s poms switch together, and the diodes are built into the pom, not a single light in the handle. The bows work differently: each bow has its own button. To match, every athlete clicks the bow to the pom colour before the squad goes out. On a dark sideline that is the point: lit poms with plain bows leave the top of every athlete in the dark, and lit poms with bows in the same colour read as one block of light from the top row.
- Pick the colour before warm-ups, and have the captain check every bow against the poms.
- A colour change during the game means the poms switch by remote and every athlete clicks the bow, so plan it for a break, not mid-routine.
- The bows’ colour cycle suits a showcase finale or a team photo better than a matched sideline.
See cheer pom pom colours for choosing squad colours that read at night.

$145 USD per pair
Where should a light-up cheer bow sit?
High. A cheer bow sits at the crown, on top of a high ponytail, over the elastic, with the two tails hanging down over the ponytail. That is where it reads from the stands and where it stays clear of the athlete’s eyes.
- Same height on every athlete. Line the squad up and check from behind and from the side before the first game. One bow sitting low breaks the line more than a late motion.
- Tails straight, not twisted, so both hang over the ponytail.
- Captain check before the squad goes out: every bow on, every bow the same colour, the same as for poms.
- Photograph the squad once under the lights you perform in, so everyone sees what the stands see.
How many bows and poms should a squad order?
One bow per athlete, plus spares for the coach’s bag, and one pom pair per athlete plus two spares. Poms are at our team rate of $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs:
| Squad | Light-up bows | Pom pairs, with 2 spares | Poms at the team rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Squad of 10 | See the product page | 12 | $1,440 |
| Squad of 16 | See the product page | 18 | $2,160 |
| Squad of 24 | See the product page | 26 | $3,120 |
See the light-up cheer bows page for current pack sizes and team pricing. Spares matter more on the road than at home: a bow left in a car before an away game is the one you can’t replace that night.
