The top trace CH1 is the voltage across the load. The variation in voltage seen is about 2 volts (x10 probe) which represent a current change of  (V/R)  2/12 = 166mA. Well it's nearly 150mA. I told you no one's perfect!

The bottom trace CH2 is the switching transistor base voltage Remember this is a PNP transistor the transistor is on when the trace goes low. You may also notice the rise time on this trace is not good I was too idle to sort it out.

No you don't really want to see the test setup do you. Oh the shame of it.
