Only in one review: Voltage 12 V (36 W, 12 V 3 A power supply); Current 3 A (36 W, 12 V 3 A power supply); Power 36 W (36 W, 12 V 3 A power supply); Under load 48.2 V (LRC-60-1400); No load 0.5 W (36 W, 12 V 3 A power supply); Protection 3.7 A (36 W, 12 V 3 A power supply); Temperature rise 138 °C (36 W, 12 V 3 A power supply).

36 W, 12 V 3 A power supply: Works for low-power, undemanding loads, but the author says he would not buy it himself.

LRC-60-1400: It regulates current well and tolerates high input voltage, but starts slowly and runs hotter.

Figures were taken from the review text and checked against the quoted passages. Measurement conditions differ between reviews, so read the reviews yourself before buying. Prices at the time of review.
