Would the infamous diode trick to make light bulbs last longer cause the meter to get confused and show no power flow?
For the newbies who never heard of it, the trick is to take an IN5406 diode and connect it in series with the light bulb.
If so, then charge a capacitor instead of lighting a bulb and use the high voltage DC to run a switch mode power supply.
