What are LED poi?
LED poi are the modern evolution of glow stick poi — programmable, rechargeable, and dramatically brighter. Whether you call them glow poi, light toys, rave lights, or DIY led poi, they're the most expressive way to spin at festivals, raves, and stage shows. Home of Poi stocks the full range — from beginner glow in the dark poi up to pro-level pixel poi.

What's the difference between glow stick poi and LED poi sticks?
The 6-inch glow stick was the original glow poi — dependable, cheap, and you could extend life by chilling them in the fridge or warming them in hot water. Light poi has come a long way since then. Modern LED poi sticks and full-colour LED's let you change colour, strobe, fade, and program patterns. Pixel poi and DIY led poi let you upload your own graphics. Glow in the dark poi added control chips for strobe, fade and pattern modes — that's where the orbit light show really started.Pixel poi, ePoi, Pro-Series LED poi & DIY LED poi
Many LED glow poi use rechargeable Lithium-Ion cells — the same power source behind your phone, laptop, and most poi flow toys. Li-ion cells pack more energy than older NiMh or Alkaline cells and deliver constant voltage to the LEDs in your poi pods and poi led lights — no more fading as the battery drains.The catch: Li-ion cells can't ship fully charged due to international air freight rules. Charge them fully on arrival or your poi may seem to fail early. Also — if you store Li-ion poi flat (zero charge) for the off-season, they can drop below the recoverable threshold and won't charge again. Always store led poi with some charge in them.
Do you sell Pod Poi?
We no longer stock Pod Poi or Pod Poi V2. Newer high-spec pixel poi outperform them in every way — brighter LEDs, higher resolution, better battery life, programmable graphics.
Shipping Lithium-Ion cells by air
Lithium burns extremely hot — hot enough to melt aluminium. International shipping rules limit how many Li-ion cells we can pack per air parcel, and they have to go in a flameproof box. Maximum 4 cells per package. The shopping cart will warn you if your order needs to be split.LED Poi instructions
We've stopped printing instructions to cut paper waste. All led flow toys instructions live on their product pages, and we email them to you on purchase. They're also viewable under 'Resources' when you log into your account.Why are new LED poi not fully charged?
Air freight rules — Li-ion cells ship partly charged. First use will be shorter than spec. Charge fully and your poi will run for the stated time. Ni-Cad cells are the same.
Eye safety around LEDs and poi spinning
LEDs have got dramatically brighter over the past decade. Bright LED poi look amazing in motion — but never remove the LED unit and stare straight into the bare LED. The damage is the same as staring into a small torch at close range. Spin them, don't dissect them.The Poi Balls LED trail effect
Behind every LED poi spinner, you'll see those circular light trails — the led poi comet effect, also called led orbit. For cameras, a long exposure setting captures it best. The human eye does it naturally with its own iris exposure — the darker the room, the bigger the trail. The faster you spin, the longer the trail. Try it at festival night and you'll see why led lights rave culture grew up around this prop.Rave lights, LED lights rave & orbit light show
LED poi sit in the wider family of rave lights and orbit lights — and they're available across a range of rave light websites. We think Home of Poi gives you the best led lights rave gear, alongside led toys, light toys, and orbit light show kits.Why is LED poi so attractive?
Spinning poi is already mesmerising. Add LEDs and you get colour trails dancing around the performer — visual poi at its peak. Now imagine spinning to your favourite music with that flowing colour extension of you. That's why led poi keeps growing.
Can I juggle LED poi?
Yes — many of our LED juggling sets and led juggle balls let you do 3, 4, or more ball routines with full-colour LEDs.
