Finding current of a solar cell from a lawn garden lantern?

I’m having trouble getting the current from a solar cell, taken out of the top of one of those cheap lawn lanterns. There are two wires coming off of it, and I can measure voltage. But I’m having trouble reading current or resistance. My multimeter just says "1". Could I assume that the cell’s current is the same as the battery it’s suppose to charge during the day?

I’m thinking, maybe, to read the current, I have to apply a load, as in something has to be using the power, with my multimeter broken into the circuit. If this is right, can you help me design a simple "load" circuit so that I can read the current my solar cell is producing? Maybe add a variable resister or something?

    Any solar guys out there?

    I built a tiki hut, would like to have a solar powered flickering light INSIDE the tiki hut, I am going to install it in an old lantern….can’t find one anywhere. Any ideas on how to do this? If it is possible to do so, I would like to even have 3 lanterns like this…it is NOT to light up the tiki hut, its just a flickering light for decoration. I know I can buy some that you can charge in the sun and them bring them into the hut but would much rather prefer it to come on automatically if it can be done…..thank you….
