When Malc does pay you a visit Peter, it may prove worthwhile if you could video the session when he is showing you how to use your multimeter.  That way you can watch the video over when you are unsure of some function 

@Malc 

cheers John.

What, like that tutorial on YouTube where the bloke doing it blew the multimeter up and just about killed himself?

Thank you George.

FYI.

Our good friend, Malc has offered to visit my home and assist me with not only the LED issues but also with possibly helping me understand the basics with my Circuit tester!

I know from a previous visit by him that his knowledge will prove invaluable!

Regards, Peter

PS Watch this space!

That's very kind of Malc. Perhaps either you or Malc could post what the actual problem was for us poor confused people. Ta..

Thanks John, but with Lawrence's help I reckon we've found the one George has, and it appears to have a better spread of power outputs so I'll be going for this one.............

Item AA0274

Drat. Minimum order is £10 so I'd have to get 3 of these. Happy to do so if anyone else local to me in Leyland, Lancashire wants one or is prepared to meet postage costs?

They're only little and don't weigh much (especially without the battery) so postage shouldn't be much.

A great bit of kit definitely worth having if you are working with LEDs.
