Custom LED Mardi Gras beads are battery-powered light-up necklaces that flash in the dark, which makes them a favorite throw for night parades, stadium crowds, and late festival hours. Each necklace holds tiny LED bulbs wired to a small switch, and most models cycle through fast blink, slow blink, and steady-on modes so your crowd can pick the look they want.
Why LED beads work for night events
Plain beads disappear after dark, but LED beads keep your brand or krewe visible from across a parade route. We print or mold the pendant to match your colors, then wire it to bright LEDs powered by replaceable coin-cell batteries. Common uses include Mardi Gras night parades, concerts, grand openings, and bar promotions.
- Multiple flash modes on a single push switch
- Replaceable coin-cell batteries so the beads run all night
- Custom pendant shapes and full-color printing available
- Low minimums and custom orders in 14 days or less, shipped to all 50 states

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the batteries in LED Mardi Gras beads last?
The coin-cell batteries typically power the LEDs through a full event and are user replaceable, so the same necklaces can be reused at the next parade or party.
Can I get my logo on LED beads?
Yes. We add your logo or artwork to the pendant and can match team or brand colors on the beads themselves.
Are LED beads safe to throw from a float?
They are lightweight plastic with a sealed battery housing, so they throw and catch like standard parade beads.
