The '''Energy Bridge''' is one of the many mysterious technologies seen on [[Installation 04]]. The [[Forerunners]] built [[Halo]] with many interesting and unknown technologies, one of which is the energy bridge. It is a bridge comprised of "solid" energy, which can support an enormous amount of weight. The bridge works when a switch triggers increased photonic activity, and the photons displace the air around the light path. When this happens, the light becomes coherent and solid.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], pages 84/85</ref>

Energy Bridge on Installation 04.

The Energy bridge is a Forerunner technology.

It has two components: a control panel and what are believed to be energy projectors. The control panel is a semitranslucent holographic array of lines, circles, and polygons that is projected from the surface of Forerunner metal. Tapping a "blue-green circle"[1] activates the bridge. Photons begin to stream between the two projector arrays, and are stimulated by unknown excitations to "displace the air around them", becoming a firm, solid bridge of coherent bluish light, capable of holding large amounts of weight, including M12 Warthog LRVs.

Light bridges were present exclusively in Halo: Combat Evolved, and made appearances in underground complexes: the Forerunner subterranean facilities in the campaign level Halo and 343 Guilty Spark.
