DC Reducer 48V to 12V

I need a simple breadboard circuit to reduce 48 VDC to 12 VDC. I was able to create one, but did not have enough wattage to support my 12V lights and radio. I know I will need a heatsink, but any other help would be appreciated.

You didn't say how much power you needed but, this looks pretty robust. Good Luck
