Best Answer

Starters in tube light uses capacitors to produce a momentary high voltage of 400V due to discharging of capacitor.

This momentary high voltage will start the gaseous discharge to priduce light by initial flickering .

now,if capacitor is not used , the power supply from the main cannot start the gaseous discharge .
