Could always get a couple of Chauvet Freedom Sticks to test the concept ( https://www.chauvetdj.com/products/freedom-stick/ )
I think the lighted poles and the similar lighted legs ( https://www.amazon.com/Speaker-Stand-Lighted-Bright-Professional/dp/B074CJP2D9) look a bit hokey for professional events .. maybe for kids events they'd work.
The movers put light elsewhere (on the floor, etc.) .. the self lighted totems/poles/facade/et al basically call attention to themselves. Some of that is OK ..Pretty easy to solve that... You just turn the lights off if they aren't appropriate for the event...

... but if lighted totems are not appropriate, probably moving heads wouldn.t be either, so I'd just bring my regular EVOX8's and not totems.
Not a bad idea, but those Freedom Sticks are 61 inches tall. The length of the pole in my conceptual diagram is less than 48 inches... That's about how high I usually have it when I set up my EVOX8's. The one down side to my concept is that the height can't be adjustable.Could always get a couple of Chauvet Freedom Sticks to test the concept ( https://www.chauvetdj.com/products/freedom-stick/ )

ADJ ones are shorter ... https://www.amazon.com/ADJ-Products..._rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=90Y675CYD4CZCPS662D7Not a bad idea, but those Freedom Sticks are 61 inches tall.

Those custom totems are closing in on $1K a piece now ..
They're 40mm tubes ... 1.5" .. American DJ LED Pixel Tube 360 LED PIXEL TUBE 360 B&H Photo - (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1003807-REG/american_dj_led_pixel_tube_360.html)Ahh.. That's a better length, but it says they're 5" wide.. Do you suppose that's right???. That's WAY too thick for a sub pole.
True .. though I'd want it to be more usable than one dedicated to a J8 box at some point.LOL... Maybe so. But cost is really not the issue at this point. Custom doesn't come cheap.

Luckily the EVOX top weighs very little ..That might work... But you CAN buy those LED strip lights they use in those tube light fixtures, and you can buy the acrylic tubing and a light controller, so it would not be terribly difficult to build your own lighted-sub-pole to your exact specs if you wanted to. The LED lights are pretty inexpensive, but have you looked at the cost of acrylic tubing (with thick sidewalls to make it strong enough not to bend with the weight of a PA speaker)? Not cheap!

I would think that a podium style setup would look awfully top heavy with a dual monitor setup. Maybe if one was set into a sloped top panel of the podium rack and used both as screen and keyboard it might not look so ominous.
