What grain to use for LME

[tobrew]

This will be my first PM. How do you determine which grain to use to substitute for a light LME or DME? The recipe calls for:
1 can light lme
2#light dme.
Steeping grains
1/2 carapils
1/2 2 row
Thanks

Go with plain old 2-row. 1 lb grain = 0.8 lb LME = 0.6 lb DME.

Good luck!
