timer - 0-10 second on-time with a potentiometer

I would like to make a simple circuit, where the a potentiometer controls a 0 - 10 second on-time.

If the potentiometer is set to min, the on time should be 0 seconds. If the potentiometer is maxed out the circuit should be on 10 seconds.

I was thinking of using an Arduino, but that would be overkill for such an application. And too expensive as well. Maybe a 555 timer would be an option?

All help is appreciated!

Notes:

• Circuit must be 5V or 12V DC


• The object to turn on is a 12V car lightbulb. (some advice about a relay?)


• Has to be cheaper than using an Arduino
