LED pom poms beat regular pom poms because they glow, change color on cue, and turn a night routine into a light show. Neon Cowboys LED pom poms are rechargeable and remote color-changing: a handheld remote switches the whole line's color and light mode in real time, and the poms come in custom team colors with cool-white or color-select LEDs. Regular poms just sit there in the dark, LED poms own it.
LED pom poms vs regular pom poms
A standard pom pom does one thing: it is whatever color it was cut in, all night, in every light. An LED pom pom adds motion, brightness, and control. Under stadium or gym lights it glows instead of disappearing, it changes color on cue to match your routine, and it gives a full squad a synchronized, can't-look-away visual. For night games, halftime, pep rallies, and competition sets, that is the entire difference between blending in and being the thing everyone films.
How LED pom poms work
Bright LEDs are woven through the strands of the pom, and a handheld remote controls the color and the light mode. Because one remote can run a whole line of poms together, the entire squad lights up and changes color at the same instant, which is what keeps a big formation looking sharp. Directors use the remote to match the lights to each segment of a routine, a song, the uniforms, or the moment in the game.
Rechargeable and remote color-changing
Neon Cowboys LED pom poms are rechargeable, so there is no scramble to find the right batteries before every game, and they are remote color-changing, so you are never locked into one look. The poms themselves come in custom colors for team orders, and the LEDs can be set to any color with the remote, whether you want a steady cool white, your school color, or a full color-select mode for a themed routine.
Built to actually perform
The reason LED pom poms are new is that they are hard to build. Teams and vendors tried for years to make ones that could survive the shaking, the choreography, and the stadium lights, and could not pull it off. Neon Cowboys engineered a set that holds up through a real performance and reads clearly under the lights, which is why the Las Vegas Raiderettes chose them to become the first professional cheer squad to perform with remote-controlled LED pom poms on an NFL field.
Are LED pom poms worth it?
For any team that performs at night or indoors under lights, yes. They are a season-over-season investment in your program's visual identity, not a one-use party prop, which is why athletic departments, booster clubs, and studios fund them. At $64 per pom with most squads ordering two per performer, they turn every night routine into a signature look. See how bulk team orders and pricing work.

Buy the original, not a knockoff
Because Neon Cowboys proved LED pom poms can work, imitators will follow, and most will cut the corners that make them fail on the field. Neon Cowboys is the original, founded by U.S. utility patent holder and Forbes 30 Under 30 nominee Asia Hall, with more than a decade of engineering light-up gear for performers who cannot risk a failure on stage. When the industry could not build a working LED pom pom for years, Neon Cowboys did, and a professional NFL squad performed with them. That is the difference between gear built to perform and a novelty built to sell.
