    I wish I knew the context and the current required. LDR's or Low Dropout Regulators are capable of doing this with great precision.

    But I don't know if we are talking about powering a device that requires 30 amps at 12V or 100 mA at 12V or how sensitive the device is to power fluctuations or what environment the 14 V is.

    Silicon diodes can drop the voltage about 0.6V per diode.
