A CSS Selector

First time to see a selector like this:

label.light {

}

Can someone please clarify it to me?

label.light will select the label tag that has a class of light

Oh! So that's like a more specific class selector? Like instead of selecting all elements with the light class it only selects the label element that has the class light. Am I right?

You're right, that's a "combined selector" that uses both the tag name "label" and the class name "light". It will only match elements that have both.
