Good evening to you just what kind of lighting would be best for a roller skating ring I am considering about open up one
Most rinks have basic lights for most of the skating and then more of a “nightclub” type of lights that they’ll use for couple skates or special song skates. Check with a company called AudioLite in Emporia, KS for more details, they know a lot more about this than we do.
How many pairs of skates are needed for a rink. Also amount per size?
That’s going to depend a lot on the size of the city you’re in and the population base. But average sized rinks in average sized cities usually have about 400-500 pair.
