Answer by Simon B for Simplest way to reduce voltage from ~48v to ~36v
Probably the simplest solution would be a zener diode in series with the load, chosen to drop just the amount of voltage you want dropped (not the voltage you want to get). No resistor is required. In...

Answer by Dwayne Reid for Simplest way to reduce voltage from ~48v to ~36v
You are able to use a fixed voltage drop of about 11 Vdc at about 120 mA. This is fairly easy. simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab The transistor is a Darlington device in a...

We can design the heat-removal from the Zener. Shall we do so?We'll assume the leads of the Zener are copper, and are 1mm square. Yes, they likely are round, but I'll let you insert a square-to-round...
