Worth a shot, anyways. I assume hooking the meter up between ballast and bulb will work as is? Seems a stupid question but the high frequency/high voltage coming off the ballast always makes me a little uncertain of exactly what's going on electrically.

hmmm.. that might be a problem. ask and electronics if a regular current meter will reed a output from a electronic ballast. I have never tried this and I would want to know befor I did.. multimeters are expensive
