What is the dominant type of an Earth-like planet located light years away?

This question is many years from being answered, if indeed it can ever be answered, given your parameters. "Earth-like planet". This would mean roughly the same size as the earth, besides having atmosphere, etc. "Located light years away". It is all we can do to detect if a star light years away has an accretion disc or a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting it. An earth-sized planet, in the so-called "Goldilocks" zone around a star at a distance of several light years? Impossible.
Inference of such a thing would be the best we could do. Reaching the point where we can say that "There is an earth-like planet in the Goldilocks zone around Beta Zaptoris at a distance of 27 light years from earth"? That will be many, many years yet, if ever. We can already do this with some very large planets (or planet-like bodies) in a few cases, but that is the extreme edge of astronomy at the moment.

How would life be different around a red dwarf?
If we lived on a planet orbiting a red dwarf we would be bathed in orange-red light rather than the yellow-white light of our real sun. In order to sustain earthlike temperatures our planet would have to orbit much closer to the sun and would be tidally locked with one side always facing the sun. As a result the sun would never rise or set but would remain fixed in the same spot in the sky. The side of the planet facing away from the sun would be frozen in perpetual darkness.
