Why does your garage light switch have 3 white 3 black wires 1 green and 1 red wire?
There are several possibilities, depending on the needs of the electrician who wired the light for you. In general, the wires are either power in or out of the box, and what is called a "switch leg". If you have questions about your specific application you should contact an electrician in your area to inspect the wiring and explain to you what it is for.

How do you wire an additional light to another light with a switch?
To wire an additional light to another light with a switch, you would connect the hot wire from the existing light to the hot wire of the new light. Then connect the neutral wires together. Finally, connect the ground wires together. This creates a parallel circuit so both lights can be controlled by the switch.
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).

Connect the black wire to the common screw, which is usually labeled as "COM" or "COMMON." Connect the two gold screws to the other wires coming into the switch. The green screw is for the ground wire, which should be connected to the bare copper wire in the electrical box. Be sure to turn off the power before starting and test the switch afterwards.

What colour would red green and white appear if a green light was shone at them?
While the ball would still be green it will appear black. Anything green absorbed all colours except green. The green light is reflected to your eyes which makes it look green. Thus in red light (with no green in it) the red will be absorbed and no green light can be reflected to your eyes so the ball will look black.
