If there is only one romex coming into the box, that is out of the

No, that's perfectly normal -- it's called a switch leg. Power feed comes into
the box at the light fixture, and is tied to the white wire of the switch leg,
which goes to one side of the switch. The black wire of the switch leg goes to
the other side of the switch, and to the black fixture wire.

Agreed...I have no problem with the way the LF1 is switched.

But, Doug...of all people ;-) you didn't comment on why only LF2 is on
with the switch off.

That's because I'm still trying to figure it out!!

Any thoughts?

My first thought is that something there is *not* as it was described to you.
