Lighting presents the handmade Arsenal Suspension. Suitable for
residential and corporate environments, upscale bars, spas, galleries and
recording studios, the Arsenal comes in various colors including fluorescent
lime, orange, yellow and blue. The Arsenal has fluorescent uplights to wash
the ceiling and is a suspended 18 gauge stainless steel piece with a slice
of fluorescent acrylic down the center which glows passively in daylight and

Lighting manufactures lighting from green materials. Handmade paper from
bamboo, mulberry, mango and banana leaves and various other fruit tress and
reclaimed metals are used in the company's Quad, Tripod and Wedge Series

- "Livin' on the edge. Drawn to
the "myriad effects of light on a subject and as a subject of its own",
artist/musician Mike Brannon, founder of Lightlink Lighting infuses his
illuminated sculpture with a passion for creativity. Often described as
"Euro-Texan" the company's unique designs, such as Edgelit Ice
reflect a subtle Zen-like appeal."

it's hot" jazz work with Synergy,
Brannon is tapping into a different kind of fusion these days - melding

Scene Monthly - May 2007
- "Created by Texas designer
Mike Brannon, Lightlink Lighting provides a collection of creative products
fashioned from an array of materials, including hand-made paper, hardwood and
natural fibers. Brannon's belief is that light influences the way we consider
and remember each moment. His goal is to create functional, aesthetically
pleasing fixtures that are appropriate for any setting. Featuring the
influence of both Asian and industrial design, the lights are meant to
provide balanced, textured illumination that calms the mind and does not
overwhelm the eye. Brannon's illuminated sculptures are currently displayed in
cities across the nation."

Mike Brannon creates artful lighting. His San Antonio based company, LightLink
Lighting, boasts designs inspired by a Zen perspective, or as he puts
it, "a pursuit of something to add serenity to an environment". Suitable
for an contemporary setting, these hand-built fixtures are created with
combinations of metal frames, dichroic (two-colored) mirrors, touch dimmers
and light enhancing natural papers to give a high-tech meets organic feel.
Brannon's designs are currently on display at galleries and private
collections in London, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle and Austin. Don't worry,
Lightlink can do custom commisions as well"

Accents Today - March 2005
- "For many
artists, it's the stoke of a brush that turns a blank canvas into art. But for
jazz musician and artist Mike Brannon, his masterpieces come to life not by
paint - but by light"

San Antonio Business Journal - November 2004
- "Its very
ethnic. African art dominates the living and dining rooms, mixed with items
from Indonesia and metal, wood and paper lamps made by Brannon"
