Can whipping cream be used as a substitute for light cream?
You can do anything you like in cooking. However, this particular substitution is not ideal. Whipping cream is a heavy cream, not a light cream. A mixture of whipping cream and milk would be a better substitution.
Is whipping cream the same thing as cool whip?
No; heavy cream has a higher fat content. Granted, it is a pretty subtle difference (at least 36 percent fat in heavy cream and at least 30 percent in whipping cream), but it's important if you're making something that's going to keep its shape—the higher fat content in heavy cream makes it more suitable for those jobs. That extra fat also makes it more resistant to curdling in sauces.And if you're wondering where heavy whipping cream fits into all this, don't worry, it's just the same as heavy cream.
What is the base of a cream soup called?

How do you convert half and half into heavy cream?
If you're cooking, you can add butter and water to half and half to get an equivalent amount of heavy cream. Heavy cream is 36% fat, half and half is 10% fat, butter is 81% fat. And water is 0% fat :). So, we just need to balance the half and half, butter, and water to give us the same volume and the same amount of fat. To mimic one cup of heavy cream, use .5 cup (121g) of half and half plus .4 cup (91g) of butter plus 1/8 cup (28g) water. I've done this for candy making (truffles and caramels) and it works fine. But I doubt this will do the trick for uses (like whipping) which don't involve cooking.
What can you substitute for whipping cream?
If you are planning on WHIPPING the cream, say to make whipping cream for a dessert, there really isn't a substitute you could make at home. There are of course commercial substitutes that are made with oil, but you're far better off using the real thing. You also shouldn't substitute for cream when baking, because the ratios in baking for flour, fats, proteins, leavening agents and the like are temperamental, and its best not to tamper with them unless you know what you are doing. If you have a cooking recipe that calls for heavy cream, however, such as for a cream soup, or adding to a sauce, you can substitute either milk, half and half or light cream, and just add a few tablespoons of butter. I believe the ratio is three tablespoons of butter to each cup of milk to approximate heavy cream, if you are using light cream, you could probably reduce the butter to two tablespoons per cup.
What is double heavy cream?
Double cream is a high butter-fat content cream, typically 30-40% more than heavy cream. Heavy cream is more than 35% butter-fat, while double cream is 45-55% butter-fat. Light cream, otherwise, contains 18-30% butter-fat, much like half and half. Unseparated [un-skimmed] cow's milk is typically 3-4% butter-fat. Double Heavy Cream is just another name for double cream. Double cream is best for whipping into a thick foam. It is not generally marketed in the US, but in the UK and Europe.
