A While ago I posted a circuit, something like this.
1000

12V+ -|___|-+--+----------+

| | NPN
| <|
| |-
| /|

400UF --- |

GND '-'

V -> LED

GND
(created by AACircuit v1.28.6 beta 04/19/05 www.tech-chat.de)
And asked about its longevity of the NPN transistor used this way?
Of course, it turned into a three ring circus, so for the last week or
so, I have been operating one using a bench supply and it seems to work
just fine.
I didn't do a beta test on the transistor to see if it lost anything
but I really don't care because this is going to be a permanent use of a
transistors life.
Also, with experimentation I was able to come up with various
configurations that was stable across a wide range of voltages starting
at 11 Volts and up. These make for cheap throw away things.
