Normal Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Dominoes with an X must sum to 10. Dominoes with a V must sum to 5. All X and V dominoes are given.
Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in that arrow’s circle.
Extra Rules:
Divide the digits 1-9 into three different groups (such as 124,357,689). No digits from the same group may touch orthogonally. The 3 given bulbs / circles in column 7 are one group of digits. That will get you to two possible solutions - choose your own adventure!
To finally disambiguate to a unique solution, each group of digits must have at least one odd digit.
