Is it really valid to assume the current in a light globe is the same for 
50Hz as 100kHz?  I would suspect that the "coiled coil" tungsten filament 
may alter this.  It might be interesting to compare this to another method 
of current readings such as with a high speed bridge rectifier feeding a 
capacitor and a DC ammeter.
