Killed Bulbs and Killer Cages - Thermo(?) Killer Sudoku
(Published on 18. April 2021, 13:30 by Cane_Puzzles)
Standard Sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 into each cell of the grid. None of the rows, columns or boldly outlined 3x3 boxes contain repeated digits.
Standard Killer Sudoku rules apply: The digits in a cage sum to the number at the top left corner of the cage. Digits cannot repeat in a cage.
The digits on a line must increase from one end to the other. (This is why the title has "Killed Bulbs" in it. These lines are thermometers but their bulbs are missing.)

Hints
1)
The break-in is similar to the break-in in this easier puzzle: https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Raetsel/zeigen.php?id=0005UO
2)
If the "23" cage was a "27" cage instead, the new puzzle would still be valid and it would have the same solution path as the original puzzle.
This puzzle was also solved in a CTC video. You can find the video
here.
I am not a native German speaker, I just use the translations of Google Translate. Therefore, corrections on the German text are highly appreciated.
Solution code: Column 1 followed by Column 2 (18 digits with no spaces)
