Think Outside the Cage

Normal Sudoku rules apply. Digits increase along the thermometer from the bulb. (The thermometer may or may not cross pentomino boundaries.)
This ruleset is intended to create interesting interactions between the sums and the pentomino shapes. Feedback is very welcome!
f-puzzle (which will not enforce the pentomino sums).
Solution code: Row 5 followed by Column 5

I found the start quite tricky, but once it unwinds it gets quicker.
A beautifully logic puzzle.

I struggled for a few hours trying to find a break in (I'm apparently not very good at pentomino puzzles!) and eventually thought of something entirely different to try and from there the puzzle had some great logic to play with and I'm proud to say I eventually got it! Nice puzzle!
