What's the voltage across a BJT transistor when it is turned on? Seems to me you will be pulling the BAT141 to 0.7V i.e. zero impact


you are confusing Vbe with Vce.

Vce(sat) of a BC547 is around 90mV. there may be better choices that yield an even lower value. as i said, i've not tried the circuit.

addendum: have a dig around here:
