[time-nuts] +12 Volts 1A (plus a bit) supply?

The transformer gives me about 20 volts DC out.  Dropping 8 volts at 1 amp is just a lot of power to void with a resistor.  I'd like to avoid having that much waste heat in the unit.  I do have an old power brick, but I was hoping there was some small switching board that people had had good luck with.  Maybe the brick is the best option.
