    Installing New Wall Light Switch with 2 Black and 1 Red Wire?

    Trying to install new switch to turn on a ceiling light. There are 2 black, 1 red, and ground (bare copper) wire. How do I wire this to a single pole switch? Or do I need double/3-way switch? The switch should be the only one to on/off the ceiling light.
