I read that there is no concern for shock with caps across the ac. X type caps. are made up to 10uf for sale to the public. So are you saying that there is a shock hazard if more than 10uf are used? I have , as I said before, discussed this with an electronic engineer and he agreed that there was no concern for shock with fairly large amounts of capacitance. I did a fair amount of checking and research about this. Not saying I'm absolutely right on this but I did much to validate the shock safety thing. In a previous discussion with an aerovox agent I was told that the specific lighting caps I talked about and use were Type X. Looks like I was given inaccurate info.
