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 .

How can I charge a capacitor using a light bulb?

To charge a capacitor using a light bulb, you can connect the capacitor in series with the light bulb to a power source. When the power is turned on, the light bulb will limit the flow of current, allowing the capacitor to charge gradually. The light bulb acts as a resistor in this circuit, controlling the rate at which the capacitor charges.
