Hi everyone, I need to build a circuit that can simply lightup a few orange LED's (like 6) directly from AC 230v with a few components like a 0.22uF Capacitor and a bridge without damaging the LED's and at a moderate brightness.. I tried doing it, but the LED's dont give good light. So thought to ask help to you guys before further experimenting.. Can Anyone help ,me please??

We frown on that sort of thing around here. Powering things right from the mains with no isolation transfomer is very hazardous, and likely to get you killed.

You can buy a transformer for a couple of dollars or Euros. Funerals are very expensive. Put yours off as long as possible. :)
