Spectulative at best. You're making a supposition that the luxmeter would support your view without actually providing the evidence.
Okay you want evidence, that the assumption that just because a lamp is rated at 150 watt that it will also use the full 150 Watt of power when wired in series is not always true :
I quote here a post by Barotoulogos from ou.com
Who said Naudin got OU? He do not even says so. He just is excited about the course of his experiments with ground usage and will struve towards this direction.
GOOD. After all neither RomeroOK claimed OU. Only Dragon has claimed extra-ordinary results in several setups including grounding or not.
Actually some started saying their bulbs were fully lit, then the discounts begun.
80% lit, 60% lit, half lit etc.
Just try an objective measurment method instead of estimating wrong. That's the reason i made the youtube vids. To show a fully lit bulb from a lit bulb can differ hugely in wattage.
...
Once for all, just to solve this issue, i suggest those with a ready made light bulb bank and a variac to bring the from mains (wired in parallel) to similar luminosity as per device and then will gain an idea how much output they get. (lux meter is a plus here)
Am i a pessimist?
GET REAL. Experimentation is about reality and not wishful thinking. Following a methodology, no matter how much primitive it is, it adds value.

i have make a draft setup of two light bulbs 75watts of nominal power being connected to 230v mains and video them. A first video shows one lamp alone working at 67watts and a second video shows both lamps working at 44watts.
Clearly in the second case each lamps works at 1/3 of the first case. Easily by mistaking brightness estimation and power usage anyone could be lead to think wrong
I try to play Devil's advocate here, so as to be 100% sure than our experimenters have produced something real and not BS-ing each other.

Hello,
it is very easy to measure true output power. Only Luxmeter for measurement of light strength is necessary. Luxmeter is possible to buy from e-bay etc. for 50$. Just cover one lamp by cardboard box, on the top make hole for luxmeter. Measure how many Lux you have from Kapagen. Then Kapagen switch of, ant connect to the lamp variac, and adjust voltage by variac to the same brightness of lamp. Measure voltage and current 50Hz on lamp.

If we want to use light bulbs as a way of determining power as is so commonly done in many experiments may I suggest a relatively cheap digital light (lumen) meter. These are only about $18 including shipping.
It is known that for the human eye to see a difference in light output that you need nearly double the lumens to notice a difference. And if the comparison is not side by side then you have your memory of the brightness to throw into the mix also. This type of light meter could go a long way in standardizing such evaluations. It is common to measure at a distance of 1 meter. If you are outside though such measurements would need to be done after dark to avoid having the Sun throw off readings.

All i am saying that it would be very appreciable that some proper output measurements are being considered. No offence or bad vibes against the Kapagen, not to be misunderstood
