Why when a capacitor is added it reduces the supply current

Do you have a circuit example to go with that statement?

 

it is in a flourescent lighting circuit?

 

I'm sorry, I was asking you if you had a specific example to illustrate with.

 

I think you need to research 'Power Factor' and power factor compensation.
