Yeah, that'll work. Downside is that the pulse duration is short, so
you have to compensate by increasing the peak current. With a pulse
that short, it'll will still be on the dim side, though that may not
matter in a low lit room (typical living room, den ...). You can up
the capacitance and the series base resistor a bit to increase your
time constant, allowing for greater pulse width. A small electrolytic
(1uf 250V) would do nicely (per anode).
