Or a few rectifier diodes to give a more consistent drop - eg. up to six 1N4000 series diodes or similar. That should reduce the regulator input to somewhere around 8V on a 12V supply.

I agree. But Suraj has already said (in post#18) : Suraj143 said: Here unable to find modern switchmode converters. Click to expand... Whether he has access to purchase from various internet sources I do not know. JimB
