  Even just placing a grid powered bulb next to the device powered bulbs is enough for me.  What's the use of measurements and readings if the device can't self run.

This is why there is reason to have looped PS from the beginning so that becomes part of tuned circuit..
Then you can see how much power is still required for circuit to function until unity.

   Yes, agreed.  And hopefully that will come. Once the guys get their circuits working right, without overheating, burning out components, poorly lit bulbs, and lousy output.  Every one is still at the first step to get their drivers to actually do something.

   Oleg could make some additional pocket money by selling us at least one complete working set of circuit boards.
Not interested?  Maybe yes... he probably has several of them collecting dust. While we are just running around in circles, for years.

My circuit did something without overheating and burning out components and could light a 1000W halogen lamp. Its a case of getting adequate snubbers to limit the high transient voltages to level that can be dealt with by the mosfets or IGBT's. Don't bank on Oleg to come to the rescue.  Order the ready made TL494 module and driver / snubber components and DIY to take your first step.

    Hoppy:
   Although that may be my best easiest option for me, but, it's not too reassuring to know that it did not help to produce the needed extra power, or additional gain at the bulbs, for Itsu.
   It may be the fault of the Kacher frequency or interaction, instead of the yoke driver/PWM circuits.  Or not?

 
  'My circuit did something without overheating and burning out components and could light a 1000W halogen lamp." 
 
  And so can mine, even without any Kacher interactions.  Doesn't mean much though.
  So, why then did you give up on it then? 

    Anyone know Oleg's e-mail address???

Here was my solution to measure " true " device output.  It cost very little to make and was also easy to calibrate using a wattmeter. I used a 60 W 240 lamp contained within a candy tin. The PV cell was from a Pound/Dollar store garden light. In fact the most expensive part was the micro ammeter at £5.00. I calibrated the meter using a small potentiometer in series with the PV cell.

This is called, most appropriately - "the wattbox" and is so much better than eyeballing light bulbs.

The only improvement I can think of would be temperature compensation (or PV cooling) and using non-inductive bulbs with straight filaments, such as many of those automotive dome light bulbs (...connected in series/parallel with switches for different resistances).
