I just thought of something, I brewed some beer a couple of weeks ago and used Brewferm light. At that time I thought that it would make a light colour, but Is that true or does it mean it is a light beer with low ABV? :/
 
From my quick google search, it seems just to be a light extract, meaning you were right the first time around, and that it's light in colour.

Hydrometer readings will give you an idea of what the ABV is... what was the recipe?
 
It was a hefeweizen

Malt Base: 5 lbs Wheat Dry Malt Extract OR 6 lbs Wheat Liquid Malt Extract
Specialty Grains: ½ lb Flaked Wheat, 1/2 lb Flaked OatsHops: 1 oz Hallertau Hop Pellets(bittering)
Yeast: White Labs 300 Hefeweizen, Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan

But I used brewferm light as malt extract
