Is it advisable to use capacitors in Electric bulbs ?

According to me I think that there is no need to use capacitors in bulbs because in the case of bulbs the power is supplied in excess so there is no deficiency and thus only a resistor is needed.

I have a few questions for you.

1. What goal are you trying to achieve by placing an capacitor in a circuit with an electric light bulb?

2. What type of light bulb are you talk about: incandescent, fluorescent or solid state (LED)?

3. Is the electric light powered with alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC)?

A capacitor is a passive electrical component that can store energy in the electric field between a pair of conductors (called “plates”). [1]

They are not really useful devices in AC power circuits which are most commonly used to power incandescent and fluorescent, though they are routinely used as filters in certain applications (see reference 1).

Now if you have a DC circuit powering a LED that is a different matter. Capicators can be used to power LED’s for varying lengths of time just like a batteries. They could also be used to power a low wattage incandescent bulb.

Mater of fact a number of electronic devices use Capicators as part of their cir
