Somebody asked me what the capacity is of the diodes so I measured it and it was around 10pF. The diodes are voltage depend capacitors but as you can see the result with the 10pF is closer then when comparing diodes with capacitor of 100pF. The brightness is higher but I also draw more current from source. So it seems that using small capacitor value to separate from main line is a good alternative.
