Stan, I measured 20 ma DC at each led, then 120 ma DC right after the bridgeand cap, so this makes more sense. I was feeding the breadboard with a Lionel 4150 MPC starter set transformer. When I read ma AC from transformer to bridge, I get 150 to 200 ma AC. This is in the DMM's 220 ma range band. So it may be partly the meter, and it maybe the power dissipated by the bridge (DB107 1A 700V) and eBay Chinese 100uf cap?
