How to measure current with voltmeter only or multimeter without current measurement

Make a simple shunt and measure voltage drop on the shunt resistor.

to the circuit <---- < Shunt 2,4R or any low value resistor > ----> to the circuit 
*for better accuracy check the value of shunt if you can.

Calculate via Ohm's law:

I, A = Udrop, V / 2,4 R

Bingo!

Arduino "Fireflies" Lamp with Light Detector & Sleep Mode

Arduino "Fireflies" Lamp with Light Detector & Sleep Mode

Board: 
Robotdyn Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V, 8MHz
(Attention! The wrong pinout by the manufacturer in the *pdf doc, use UNO's labels! pin 11 is PWM, not 12!)
 
Connection:
GND |-----< 9k1 >----- (A3) ------< LDR >-----> VCC 3.3V
GND |-----< cathode LED anode >-----< 240R >-----> to PWM pin (3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11)

Energy-saving:
- Remove Power LED from the board
- Remove DC regulator
