12 V for home-brew IR receiver

[Eduard R. <ere...@gm...>]

Hello.

I have a home-brew IR receiver as described on
https://lirc.org/receivers.html

I've read, that supply voltage range 8 V .. 10 V is ok for this circuit.
Is it ok for the voltage regulator to be supplied by 12 V or is it too
much? I don't want to damage the IR receiver.
