A | A [[Hard Light Bridge]] (simply known as a '''Light Bridge''',) is a semi-translucent solid made from natural sunlight beamed in from the Earth's surface. It can act as a bridge for the player, a shield against turrets and other hazards, or even a wall for more complex puzzles the player encounters later on. | ||
The bridges span an infinite length or until stopped by another solid... Since the bridge is made of light, if one portion of the bridge is stopped by a solid object the rest will not continue as a beam of light normally would. | |||

{{Spoiler|Hard-Light Bridges can be redirected with [[portal]]s. Hard Light Bridges emerging from odd portals are orthogonal to them. Also, [[portal]]s need to be in the center with the bridge if trying to get it to another place, otherwise it won't pass through.}} | |||
{{Spoiler|[[Chell]], [[P-body]], and [[Atlas]] can adjust placement of the even [[portal]]s slightly after redirection of Hard-Light Bridges with [[portal]]s while standing on them in some situations...}} | |||

{{Spoiler|[[Portal]]s pass through Hard-Light Bridges.}} | |||
{{Spoiler|Hard-Light Bridges can also be covered in [[Gels|Mobility Gels]] ([[Repulsion Gel]], [[Propulsion Gel]]), allowing the player to use the gels in places where it normally would just fall through. Gels placed on Hard-Light Bridges are not permanent and disappear the moment the bridge dissipates or moves to a different location or when [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]] die.}} | |||
{{Spoiler|A Hard Light Bridge will prevent the [[Sentry Turret]] from even detecting the enemy.}} | |||

* Light Bridges first appeared in the [[Portal: The Flash Version MapPack|Flash Version MapPack]] and then in [[Portal: Still Alive]], but were more formally introduced in [[Portal 2]]. | |||
** The bridges in Portal: Still Alive are mostly functionally identical to the ones in Portal 2, but notably cannot be extended through portals (and do not block turrets). | |||
