Review conclusionWith reservationsRecommended

Only in one review: Voltage 12 V (12 V 24 W power supply); Current 2 A (HCF-24L); Under load 12.13 V (12 V 24 W power supply); Ripple 250 mV (12 V 24 W power supply); Temperature rise 117 °C (HCF-24L).

HCF-24L: Ripple is acceptable and efficiency slightly higher, but electrical safety is poor and protection trips under overload.

12 V 24 W power supply: The author's favorite: low ripple, power headroom, and reasonably set protection.

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.
