Even if the 8051 would be able to fully turn-on the BC337, then your circuit would only fabricate a gate source voltage of 4.3V, which is hardly enough to switch 10A.

Another mistake is that your scheme turns on the MOSFET, when the 8051 is emtting high level, which is no good idea, because this is the reset level.

Also, your 200V supply and the micro share the same ground. This can inject enormous interference into the microcontroller circuit during switchings. Usually this is solved by the help of a relay, which intrinsically provides a galvanic isolation between driver and load.

   Have you accounted for Vce(sat) ?            01/01/70 00:00      
   resistors are not a good solution            01/01/70 00:00      
      Have you considered a current mirror?            01/01/70 00:00

            No question about it ...            01/01/70 00:00      
               But was that the question?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  I focused on the brightness match ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Doesn't it show that he's missed an important point?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        He doesn't really have to consider voltage            01/01/70 00:00

      The ULN works perfectly well - as far as it goes.            01/01/70 00:00

            Dig a little deeper, Chico ...            01/01/70 00:00      
               circuit... will work if I do this way?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  No!            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Look at the specification for IRLD120            01/01/70 00:00

                        He has digressed            01/01/70 00:00      
                           I suspect it's because he needs a constant current switch            01/01/70 00:00      
                              And I suspect that we are wildly guessing...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 a little more specificity, please, Chico            01/01/70 00:00
