Hi all,
I am designing a capacitive power supply to drive the 2835 1 Watts 6V x 6 LED's. (Circuit Attached)
For voltage dropper from 220V AC, I am using 0.1uF 1206 Ceramic x 3 = 0.3uF Capacitor(C1, C2, C3).
But i am bit confused what has to be the voltage of that capacitor.
As i have tested with 1206 SMD 50V capacitor 3 in parallel as shown in circuit, it works well, but can i use it for my applications to drive the 1W x 6 LED's, or the capacitor has to be higher voltage. I have to use SMD because i dont have much space on the PCB to use bigger one or through hole capacitor.
