this was the 1st thing i've ever soldered together elctronics wise, amazed it worked 1st time too. If i stick the capacitor in, how can i measure the efficieny improvement?

That won't give you an accurate RMS current reading.Place a 10R resistor in one lead with 100u across the resistor and measure the voltage across it. You cannot place a multimeter in series with a lead as the frequency is so high that the leads acts as antenna and upsets the reading.
You are comparing one reading against the other.
false claim that LED's are more effcient on pulsed current.
No.If you ony did a bit more reading and a bit more research you would find that LEDs are much more efficient when being pulsed. One document rated the increase at 15 times. This is because your eye is sensitive to the peaks rather than the average.
