To put it in more understandable terms - imagine a hose pipe with ten ball valves along it. Turn any one of the valves off and visualise how much water will come out of the end of the hose.

lights typically have a switch on them which is wired
internally as part of the fitting. Connections are made to terminals
*before* the internal switch.
If maccauley123 wires them up the way he said he was going to, then he will be able to turn each one off individually or turn them all off together at the main panel.
