Does it matter if I use Light rather than plain Dry Malt Extract? Instructions usually don't specify. Both work equally well?
Dry Malt Extract for Priming

both will work, just depends on color changes you may want/not want, if you have a dark beer, DME would be fine, but lighter colored beers maybe light is best, but again, that's going to be only a VERY slight color change for priming. Other than that I don't think there's any difference.

It shouldn't matter much either way but I would stick with what you used for fermenting. This will keep the flavor and color the same. They will both work just fine for priming, its just a color/flavor thing.

The amount of DME you add for priming purposes is so small I wouldn't worry much about any color or flavor addition. Of course, use sense; Dark DME in a Pilsner might have an effect.
