The load current, say can vary from 200mA to 6A Are there simple options than to use DC to DC or series diodes (which will be more nos ) From 8V, I will further be using LDO etc but to drop 12V to 8V I need some simple options. - - - Updated - - - I cannot drop directly from 12V as there is one section of the circuit (Eg... consider a relay or solonoid that needs only 8V) to operate

Anything else other than the DC/DC converter will dissipate 24W (at high load).

It is a type of electric power converter. Power levels range from very low (small batteries) to very high (high-voltage power transmission). This can help you to enhance the power..
