#165012 - You use a Darlington, ...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
...but you don't treat it like that. The base current is much larger than needed. The 2N3906 takes also too much base current. This is a big waste of supply current! The global warming begins in your circuit...

There's no need to take smaller resistances than R1=10k, R2=10k and R3=7k5. As you mentioned, R4 can be omitted.
