Light-Up LED Pom Poms
Metallic streamers with LEDs built into the pom, a rechargeable pack, and one remote that changes the whole team’s color at once.
$145 USD per pair
For college pom and dance coaches: the Texas Tech pom squad ordered 28 pairs of our LED pom poms in October 2026 and performed with them on the sidelines and in the end zone at a night home game, under red light and smoke. Your squad gets the same team rate: $120 a pair on 10+ pairs.

Who is the Texas Tech pom squad?
The Texas Tech Pom Squad is the university’s official dance team and part of the Texas Tech Spirit Program, alongside Texas Tech Cheer, Raider Red and the Masked Rider. Its performance list includes Texas Tech football games, men’s and women’s basketball games, pep rallies and campus and community appearances. It also competes at UDA College Nationals in the Division 1A Jazz and Pom divisions; its 2026 results include a Division 1A Pom silver medal and gold as the U.S. National Pom Team (sources: Texas Tech Pom Squad, Texas Tech Spirit Squads). Texas Tech plays home football at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock (source: Texas Tech Athletics).
For a buyer, the schedule matters more than the medals. A squad that dances every home football game, then basketball, then competition, needs equipment that holds up for a full year of performances, not one feature night.
The Texas Tech Pom Squad is a customer of ours. Texas Tech University and its Spirit Program do not sponsor or endorse Neon Cowboys.
What the fan footage shows
The clip reached us the way the best proof usually does: a fan filmed it. @braypartyof5 shot it from the stands and shared it. It shows the squad on the sideline and in the end zone, red stadium light washing the field, smoke drifting across it and a full crowd behind.
- The poms hold their shape in the haze. Red light and smoke turn a field into one color. Because the diodes are built into the pom itself, each pom stays a distinct point of light instead of a dark shape in front of the glare.
- The line matches. One team order means every pair lights the same way, so the squad reads as one line from the upper rows.
- A fan did the filming. People in the stands film what they have not seen before.

How do LED poms read under red stadium lights and smoke?
| Stadium condition | What to set on the remote | Why it reads |
|---|---|---|
| Red stadium lighting | White (the W button) or a color far from red | A red pom under red light blends in; white stands apart |
| Smoke before a big moment | One solid color, not a fast pattern | A solid color holds its shape in haze; strobes smear |
| Full stadium light | Any color | The metallic streamers carry the look until the light drops |
| Lights dipped for a show | Team color or AUTO rainbow | This is when the poms do the most work |
Test it at a night practice under the same stadium lighting and look at the line from the top row before you choose. One press of W gets every pom back to white if a color disappears.

Five lessons from Texas Tech’s game day
- Plan two spots, not one. The sideline carries the game; the end zone is where scoring plays and student-section moments happen. Decide where the squad stands for each.
- Put the remote on the near sideline. One remote reaches about 65 to 80 feet with a clear line of sight, so a coach or captain close to the line can switch every pom together.
- Charge on game day. A charge runs about 3 to 4 hours, less on white and rainbow. Turn them on for the moments that count, not the whole tailgate.
- Let fans film, and credit them. A fan’s clip is proof another coach trusts. Our media day ideas cover shooting your own.
- Keep the set for basketball. The same poms carry winter. The full football plan is in college dance team game day poms.
How many pairs does a college pom squad need, and what does it cost?
Order one pair per dancer who carries poms, plus spares for an alternate and a pom on the charger. In this fall’s applications, 16 of 54 teams asked for 21 to 40 pairs. At $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs:
| Group | Pairs | Cost at the team rate |
|---|---|---|
| Pom squad of 16, plus 2 spares | 18 | $2,160 |
| Pom squad of 20, plus 2 spares | 22 | $2,640 |
| Pom squad and sideline cheer, 32 performers plus 3 spares | 35 | $4,200 |
Each pom is about 7 oz with a rechargeable lithium-ion pack, so there are no disposable batteries to budget for. See stadium floodlights vs. dark arenas for how the look changes between a stadium and an arena.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Texas Tech pom squad use Neon Cowboys LED pom poms?
Yes. The Texas Tech Pom Squad ordered 28 pairs of our light-up LED pom poms in October 2026 and performed with them on the sidelines and in the end zone at a night home football game.
Who filmed the Texas Tech footage?
A fan in the stands, @braypartyof5. We credit the filmer wherever we use a still from it.
What is your team pricing?
$120 a pair on 10 or more pairs. A pom squad of 20 with 2 spares is 22 pairs, or $2,640 at that rate.
Can we get them in our team colors?
Yes. Pick metallic streamers in your school colors, or a custom mix on 10 or more pairs, then choose the light by remote: one color all season, another for a theme night.
How do they work at a night game?
Each pom charges by USB-C and runs about 3 to 4 hours. One remote, held within about 65 to 80 feet of the line with a clear view, switches every pom that is on. Our setup videos show the steps.
Can we get them in time for our next home game?
Send us the game date when you apply and we will tell you plainly what fits.
