Are there any complications from making the resistance as high as possible to limit power consumption from the control source? I can make an identical circuit and put 50k into R(b), receiving a negligible current loss for the LED/I(CE), and greatly improving the power consumption for the switching control source.
Is the gain of the transistor a factor in using a transistor as a switch?
