light malt extract / extra light malt extract question for LC?

I was not able to find light malt extract at my home brew store. I found light spray malt extract and extra light spray malt extract. I don't know what the spray means!!
Is this what I want?
Should I use light or extra light?
Thanks in advance!!!

Is it liquid or powder?
the extra light will result in a clearer LC liquid vs. the Light. it's all preference though between the two as they both work.

It's dry!! I thought about getting the liquid. Would that have worked?

dry is better. That's what I use.
Liquid does work but it's harder to judge the right amount.
I do 1g per 600mL of distilled water (or .667 per 400mL of water) Bring water to a boil & dump in (E)LME stir till disolved dump in jar, seal jar; PC @ 15 PSI for 25-35 minutes (depending on how many you're PCing) let cool overnight (4-5 hours is fine w/ LCs, they cool quickly) inoculate fast forward 2 weeks:

why add dextrose?
I ONLY use water+(E)LME. never had a problem.
Malt Extract is a sugar made from grains.

i got my LME and dextrose off of amazon/online suppliers. i know its lame, but you only need like a 1/2 pound of either ingredient.
i think i dropped like 10 dollars on 1 pound bags of both. that maybe too much, compared to others, but i have them now, so its not like i have to get more anytime soon.
