I wonder what we will do when incandescents are outlawed and we need a dummy
load? Dig through the junk box for a good old incandescent? Solder together a
mess of resistors also from salvage? Or maybe, just maybe, we could try the
"saltwater dummy load" (google it).
================================
In Germany, one clever man relabeled his stock of light bulbs as "heat globes" and sold them
to the dismay officials.
I hear he prevailed, as a lightbulb radiates 95% of its energy as heat. The
5% visible light is just an (undesirable) by-product.
