I think its a bit problematic reading current draw for LEDs. Sorry I can't recall the specifics. In any case you'd read milliamps and would have to derive Watts. If you just try to read Ohms resistance (and calculate from there) it goes wrong because the LEDs resistance changes when its under a real load, as I recall. As opposed to its Ohms when fed a tiny current from your multitester. I think its just not linear in that regard.
