Only in one review: Power 10 W (5 V 2 A power supply (10 W)); Under load 12.06 V (1208); No load 1.7 W (1208).

5 V 2 A power supply (10 W): A surprisingly good unit: it passed the tests and really delivers up to 15 W.

1208: Ripple is low, but it overheats above 6 A; the author considers it effectively a roughly 6 A supply.
