Melanie: I dont see a capacitor mentioned anywhere. Are you saying to use one of the original ideas from the other thread which uses only resistors? I did try that last year with a normal LED and it fried the resistor. This new capacitor method i found on the net works perfectly and seems to be fine for 100-400V.
