9V plugpacks are pretty common for stuff I use, it's typical for
devices that reduce that to 5V internally. Similarly 5V devices
generally use 3.3V internally. My laptop's power supply is 16V, so
15V might work.

 
Not sure what a "9v plugpack" is -- maybe something leaning a little
more "professional grade", like what photographers tend to carry about?

As Rich suggests others call them wall warts, though I thought
plugpack was actually the more universal term for them. Power

OHHHH.  Yeah, never heard them as "plugpack", but I guess "regional
dialect differences" comes heavily into play with talking online :)

Happen to have a link to the project?  Or was it something you came
across ages ago?
