You guys must be asleep at the wheel ;-)
Did no one even make an effort to view the "preview" teaser image which
DrS posted to Hartmann's site?
... or do you require spoon-feeding?

Maybe someone should take a magic marker and a mirror, and write "the
loop has been closed" and write the mirror image on the face of a sledge
hammer. Then the assorted experts here would have a memorable way to
wake up out of a skeptastrohe-stupor and smell the... err ZPE?

BTW thanks to a tip from Keith, I posted the joule-thief page to the
above site a week ago...

There is still no measurement of power on which to base this statement.
It is already well known that LED light from a pulsed power source can
be efficient for visual purposes. See:

The above circuit is incredibly efficient, working on nearly expired
batteries.
The one time measurement of a reduction in temperature was interesting,
but discounted by a subsequent measurement, and could have been due to
temperature variations and lag time of the insulated thermistor.
