As it is, when testing, it must first be decided what is normal. gap brilliancy
Having got that, it is fairly safe to infer that, a regularly occurring flash brighter than the others, is due to the gap under test, and that it is too wide; and not an inductive flash due to sparking on the other gaps.
This however, cannot be done so easily for conditions 1 and 2, whose indications are no flash at all, or a dim one.
