What is the difference between high and low contrast?

The difference is that high contrast has more black and low contrast has more white.


Have 3 lights Power to light 1 Need to connect light 2 then light 3 then down to single pole switch How do you wire?

You would wire the switch to the first light. Code says to break the black or power side of the circuit. Connect the white to the light. Take the black down to the switch on the black wire and back to the light on the white. This is a line of wire from the light to the switch. From the first light, take the white and the return white from the switch to the second with another run of wire. This will be regular black white with ground. White to white and at the first light the return line from the switch is white but hook to the black to the second light. Second light to third just continues the two wires. Black to black, white to white. I think this is clear enough to follow. If not, ask again.


What color absorbs the most light?

Black is the color that absorbs the most light (that is why it is black -- because all colors of light are absorbed and so none are reflected back to your eye, making it look black). White reflects all colors of light, and so absorbs the least amount of light. White looks white, because all the colors combined make white.

Difference between white and black color?

AnswerBlack and white are not really colors, in the sense of having a specific hue. Black is the absense of all light, while white is the presence of every color of light. A white lightbulb is really emitting tons of red, yellow, green, blue, and purple light all at the same time.
