What I am building is an Ambilight system, basically LED's that react to the images on your TV. I am having some difficulty with the wiring. I am trying to consolidate the components to a circuit board. I have 2 prototypes, simple and advanced. Both of which i attached the caps differently.
What is the right way? Simple proto I have the capacitor going across the + and - The advanced proto I have the capacitor only on the + but its not working right. The resistor and the LED are there to indicate power coming out of the caps. The will light up and then go dim, the board is powered by 5v 10a AC.
Simple

Please ask questions, I tried to think of the relevant information.
Thanks in advance
