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 cheer, dance and drill teams that perform after dark: our LED pom poms glow from diodes built into the pom and change colour together by remote, so the squad runs team colours all season and switches for theme nights. The Purdue Golduster Dance Team ordered 24 pairs. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs.

Where are they worth it, and where not?
Light-up poms earn their price where reflective poms go dark: lights-down introductions, dimmed halftimes, dark gyms, pep rallies and theme nights. For a schedule of daytime games and fully floodlit fields with no dark moment, metallic poms are enough, and we would rather say so. Under floodlights a lit pom still reads as a strongly coloured pom, but the glow is subtle. The venue-by-venue answer is in light-up vs metallic poms.
How do colours work?
Every pom has two colours: the metallic streamer, which the crowd sees in daylight and under floodlights, and the light, which it sees when the room goes dark. Team orders choose streamers in teal, orange, hot pink, purple, green, silver, red, blue, gold or white, with a custom mix on 10 or more pairs; the light changes by remote any night. Silver suits squads that change colours often. See cheer pom pom colours and pink pom poms.

Who has performed with them?
The Purdue Golduster Dance Team, the dance line of the Purdue “All-American” Marching Band, ordered 24 pairs of our light-up poms in September 2026 and performed with them on the field with the band. We also built a custom set for a pro cheer team; read the pro cheer case study.
How do teams look after a set through the season?
- One person holds the remote and the chargers, usually the coach or a captain.
- Charge by USB-C the night before each performance, and switch on for the moments rather than the whole night.
- Label every pair and keep a sign-out sheet, so a program-owned set comes back complete at the end of the season.
- Dry them after rain and store them hanging or in a pom bag.
- Keep the spares from the original order to swap in for a damaged pair.
Where does a competitive program use light-up poms?
Game days, showcases, banquets and lights-down moments are where they are built to perform. A competitive cheer or dance program gets the most from one set at its home games, its showcase and its end-of-season banquet, in team colours by remote, with a theme colour whenever the calendar calls for one. See competition season planning.
