Wayfair Catalog Pendant Lights

This is a weird one.  I loaded two "Belltown 1-Light Mini Pendant" lights in my model (these are in the Wayfair catalog) with one switch, and it changes the the switch to a 4 way.  ???  I then loaded another plan just to see, and I put just one of these pendant lights in the model, with one switch and when connected, it turned to a 3 way.  I tried 6 other pendant lights from the same catalog, with one switch, and sure enough they all turned to 3 ways.  Other pendants from the core or bonus catalogs work as planned.  I guess I never paid attention to this before, since most of the time it is a 3-way situation..  a bug in the catalog maybe?  Anyone else duplicating this?

 

BTW I know how to override (unchecking option to auto change type) but thought it was crazy to mention..

This is a good question fo Tech Support so they can fix this (I have not yet used the electrical objects that are apparently at cause here). A a work round, I would replace the wiring connection from the last light to the switch using a mere CAD Arc, set to "Electrical Connections layer so the line style and colors match. then place the switch which should now stay single pole, one way.

Exactly, it thought I was connection another switch instead of a light.  And they too said what you mentioned was another work around, beside what I mentioned in my BTW.  But don't you have to copy that part into your users catalog to modify the setting you show?  I guess If I start using a bunch of these lights via Wayfair I will do that, at least until the updated catalog gets corrected.  Don't think that would be top of the list, so you.. :-)
