RS offers a 7812 (TO-220 case) which has an output of 12v. At least on their
website this is the only fixed regulator I can find.

Surely RS sells a 7805 regulator? It's just a +5V linear regulator. If they
sell any voltage regulators it will be this one. It is by far the most
popular.

If they don't have the 78L05 a normal 7805 will be fine - just the package
might be a bit different.
