The Nxled Chameleons (stylized as NXLED) is a Philippine women's professional volleyball team playing owned by Akari Lighting & Technology Corporation. The team competes in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL), and were established in 2023 as the sister team to the Akari Chargers.

The team debuted in the 2023 Second All-Filipino Conference. During their first few seasons, the team struggled to produce good results, only advancing out of prelims once. In 2026, Nxled saw a major shift when the team signed a majority of the disbanded Petro Gazz Angels roster, including Brooke Van Sickle, MJ Phillips, and Myla Pablo.

History

2023–2025: Early struggles

The Nxled Chameleons was formed in 2023 as the second team of lighting firm Akari Lighting & Technology Corporation in the Premier Volleyball League; the first being the Akari Chargers. They were formed ahead the second All-Filipino Conference of the 2023 season. They appointed Takayuki Minowa, Jaja Santiago's husband as their inaugural head coach.

2026–present: Petro Gazz–Nxled "merger"

During the first week of January 2026, Nxled was part of a potential merger of the Petro Gazz Angels, which would see the latter team's core join the Chameleons. The merger was blocked by the league on January 7. Despite that, in the days following Petro Gazz's departure from the PVL on January 10, Nxled signed a majority of the disbanded Angels roster, culminating with the acquisitions of Brooke Van Sickle, MJ Phillips, and Myla Pablo.
