Can I convert a toggle switch to momentary switch using a transistor and capacitor?

Question

After searching online for an answer to how to convert a toggle switch to a momentary switch I found the circuit below. I've simulated it and it works in CircuitLab.

I'd like to do the same thing using a transistor instead of a relay but so far I haven't been able to make it work in CircuitLab. Can I convert a toggle switch to momentary switch using a transistor and capacitor?

Answer 1

I believe something like this would work for you:

You will have to play around with the cap and resistor values in order to achieve your desired timing and intensity for the lamp.

Answer 2

it takes an extra capacitor if you need a unipolar signal to drive your switch
