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 pro cheer and dance directors who want the whole line glowing on game night: we built the Las Vegas Raiderettes a custom set of metallic silver pom poms with cool-white and full-colour LEDs, run by a handheld remote. Your team can order the same set-up in team colours at $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs.
What did the Raiderettes order?
| Order detail | What we built |
|---|---|
| The team | The Las Vegas Raiderettes, the Raiders’ cheer team |
| The brief | A glowing, colour-changing look on the field |
| Streamers | Metallic silver |
| Light | Cool-white and full-colour LEDs built into the poms |
| Control | A handheld remote that changes colour and light mode |
| Sync | One remote runs the whole line, so every pom changes together |
Silver streamers were the right base for a pro line: under stadium floodlights they sparkle like any metallic pom, and when the light drops the line glows cool white or switches to any colour on the remote. One set covers the regular season look and every theme night.
Who are the Raiderettes?
The Raiderettes are the cheer team of the Las Vegas Raiders, with more than six decades of history. In 2022, for the squad’s 60th anniversary, more than 500 former Raiderettes reunited, with a halftime performance at Allegiant Stadium featuring past and present members (source: Las Vegas Raiders). A squad with that history sets a high bar for anything it carries onto the field: it has to match, read from the upper deck and hold up through a full game night.
Raiderettes is a name of the Las Vegas Raiders, used here only to describe a team that ordered from us. The Raiders do not sponsor or endorse Neon Cowboys.
Why does a pro squad want light on the field?
Pro game presentation is built around moments, and more of them happen in the dark: lights-down introductions, halftime features and theme nights. At the Chicago Bulls’ 2016–17 season opener, for example, the whole arena went dark except for the court before the starting lineup was introduced (source: PLSN). A line in metallic poms disappears in that moment; a lit line becomes part of it.
Light-up poms also change the theme-night maths. A pro dance team runs team colours most nights and switches for cause nights and promotions; with a remote, that is one set instead of one set per colour. See theme night ideas for pro games.
What should a pro cheer or dance team order?
- One pair per performer who carries poms, plus spares in the same order so the line matches all season.
- A streamer colour that matches the uniform: silver or white if the light colour changes often, a team colour if the line glows in it most nights.
- Light colours planned for the season: team colours, white, and the cause colours on your promotional calendar.
- A split set, raised pom one colour and low pom another, if the team runs two colours; ask for it on the quote.
- The remote with one named person: the coach or a captain at field level.
How many pairs, and what will it cost?
At our team rate of $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs:
| Group | Pairs | Cost at the team rate |
|---|---|---|
| Pro dance team of 20 | 23 | $2,760 |
| Pro cheer team of 30 | 33 | $3,960 |
| Pro team of 40 | 43 | $5,160 |
Pair counts include three spares. Pro teams can order by written quote so the paperwork fits the club’s purchasing; the price is the same team rate.
How does game presentation cue a lit squad?
- Put the squad in the script. Every lit moment gets a line in the game-presentation script, with the squad’s colour next to the lighting cue.
- Place the remote. One remote runs every pair from about 65 to 80 feet with a clear line of sight, so the person holding it stands near the line, not in the tunnel.
- Charge before every game. A charge lasts about two to four hours, depending on colour and light mode, so switch on for the moments rather than the whole night.
- Rehearse once in the venue with the lights down.
For staging ideas, see lights-out intro ideas and halftime show ideas.
Who runs what on the day?
| Role | Job |
|---|---|
| Dance or cheer team director | Pair count, colours and the order |
| Game presentation | Which moments go dark, and the cues |
| Marketing or partnerships | A presenting sponsor for the moment |
| Community relations | Cause-night colours |
| Captain | The remote and the charging list |
Write the squad’s colour on the same cue sheet as the lighting and music, so every change lands with the show.
Which pro game nights get the most from light-up poms?
- The home opener, with lights-down introductions.
- Cause nights, with the line in pink or lavender; see Hockey Fights Cancer night ideas.
- Theme and promotional nights, matched to the giveaway; see fan giveaway night ideas.
- Playoff games, when every moment is filmed.
