Rules: Normal Sudoku rules apply. Along thermos the digits must increase from the bulb. The digits in the cages do not repeat and sum up to the given total.
Happy solving - this time it's not too difficult, but you might come along some nice interactions of the two variants on your logical path.

@mandylion And what's the result? As for me it could happen that I need longer every time I look at the puzzle. ;-)

I did this one when it was published on the discord server, so I might as well log it here as solved! Took me almost 40 minutes back then, I might try and do it again, and see if I have learned enough for a quicker solve :D

Nice one! Thanks :-)
Regarding solving links, personally I prefer f-puzzles for puzzles with standard constraints (thermo/killer/little killer/arrow/anti-knight/palindrome/...) and penpa+ for puzzles with less standard constraints, where labelling/colouring may be required or where the order of pencil-marking is crucial.

@DiMono, thanks for the f-puzzles link. Personally, I have trouble using Penpa the way I work a Sudoku, I won't even try a puzzle any more without the f-puzzle link. Much appreciated.

@Cam Glad you've enjoyed it... .
@Phistomefel: Sehr gerne... etwas leichtere Kost zwischen den ganzen Mindblowern kann ja nicht schaden. ;-)
@SKORP17: Herzlichen Dank für die freundlichen Worte.

@DiMono: Thanks for the f-puzzles-link... I am always a bit hesitating to include f-puzzle-Links as the Solve Button is so close and a temptation to use. I agree with the better usability during setting and testing. Just the font size of the killer cage is something not so nice. Anyhow, I hope you are enjoying the solve as much as I did the setting. :)

Es ist tatsächlich nicht so schwer, wie ich es zuerst vermutet habe, sehr schöne Konstruktion!

warum ist das eine Feld rot unterlegt?
Antwort: Das ganze Sudoku ist eine Hommage an Banksy und sein Kunstwerk „Mädchen mit dem roten Ballon“, das bei Sotheby’s versteigert und dann vor aller Augen geschreddert wurde. Daher auch die Streifen unten aus dem Killer-Rahmen.
