I've recently built a police timer circuit, The link for the circuit, supplies and a videos is below.

The problem I'm having is not its functionality, but the output is about 1.0v-2.5v as a pulse. i need a way to bump up the voltage to 12v so I can use LED strips. Ive tried to play with 3904 NPN transistors but I cant seem to get it to work, I've thought about using solid state relays but they are a little big for this application. I went to an electronics place and they said maybe use a SCR (Silicon-Controlled Rectifier) Please tell me your thoughts and suggestions!
Please help me out, post a comment or message me, Thanks
