the wires coming off double pole will give you 240 volts,110 each the black and white hook to these,doesn`t matter which way,ground to ground
Ground is always ground, Black and white are your two "hots." You will need a dedicated circuit, you cannot run this off existing 120V wiring. A 15A 240V circuit should be more than sufficient. If this is a permanent instalation you can use 14/2 wire as you normally would, and wire it as you normally would with the exception of the 240V breaker. If you install switches, timers, etc. Make sure they are all rated for 240V. Remember, you can't just mix-and-match between 120 and 240V. 240 appliances will not run on 120 and 120 appliances will burn up on 240.

Why does a light turn when you place black to black and white to ground wire?
You don't say "turn off" or turn on". Light should be connected black to black and white to white and ground to ground. If you connect white to ground it will work, but you are then using the ground wire for an unintended purpose. Neutral is bonded to Ground at the panel. Current on ground wire could cause ground loops and may cause GFCI to trip if you have them in your house.
How do you connect multiple lights to one switch starting at the light?
You put switch in series with the black supply wire and the black wire to the first light. Then connect black wire of first light to black wire of second light, black wire of second light to third light and so forth. Do the same with the white wires and ground wires.
Is 480 lumens good for flood light?
No. 480 lumens is about the output of a 40 watt light bulb, and that will not make a very good flood light.
Do flood lights use more energy?
No, flood lights do not use more energy. If the wattage is the same between a flood and a spot light, it is the wattage used that you pay for. It is the lens of the bulb that determines the light output pattern. A smooth surface will give a flood pattern where as a spot has a lens that focuses the light into a central location. A reflector flood has a silvered interior to direct the light outwards on to an object.
If there are two black and one white wire in ceiling light do I need to use both black for the switch to work?
If there are two black wires, it's possible that it was wired for a ceiling fan and that one of the wires is for the fan part while the other is for the light part. If so, one of the black wires may be switched while the other is always "on." Normally black is "hot" and white is "neutral" (NOT ground... ground is usually green).
