Abstract
A roller for a roller skate is made of a light transmitting material. The roller includes an electrical circuit for emitting a light from within the roller. The entire roller is thereby illuminated by the circuit and appears, itself, to be a light source. A flat peripheral edge of the roller is particularly brightly illuminated. The light source or the roller, or both may be colored to produce a color or color combination of choice.
