Hi Just a note to say beware when measuring current

To measure current you must "break into" the circuit (insert the meter into one of the wires.
Please do not connect across the wires (as when measuring voltage) as that is a good way to destroy the meter.
My apologies if you already know this, but from tales of destroyed meters some people may not.
