If you are talking about a current applied in the "reverse" direction it won't light up at all. I haven't looked at the very bright LEDs that have been marketed recently, but in general I would say that most LEDs make lousy capacitors and won't store much charge at all.
Actually, diodes and LEDs have been used for varacitors for some time now, especially in homebrew RF equipment. They work quite well for this application. However, because they're not built for use as varacitors, they're not *tested* to see how much capacitance they offer. Consequently, they can have very wide tolerances. -- Samuel A.
