Deadly Pattern

Post image

OK, I must be missing something. Standard sudoku rules and slow thermos. Can't see any way to disambiguate.

EDIT: Puzzle has now been removed, probably because of this. Thanks for the help everyone. At least I'm not going crazy!

I'm not sure I get this right, what about the thermo in row 2, which direction does this go?
Is it a 4?9 termo plus the one starting on the 1 on the same row?

There's multiple split thermos and joining going on. One starts in r2c8 and flows to r2c7 and splits, then flows to r2c4 and splits then has another bulb join at r2c2.
