Tungsten bulbs have a 15x inrush current compared to hot current. Nichrome is
much less inrush.

Oooh I like the light bulb idea, that'll be nice and easy! Three 100 watt
bulbs would be perfect!

Options I've used are
1) 3-4x "round ceiling" type lighbulb holders wirth 100W bulbs mounted on a
piece of wood, using PC power cords with the ends cut off to make them plug-in.
Inexpensive and load is customizable by choosing how many to plug in. Just need
to be careful of storage as the bulbs are delicate.
2) heater with a low-heat mode that takes about 300-400W.

My UPS needs to be at 30% load to get a runtime load test. I'm at 11%
(of 750va) with the BH and AP up there.
If memory serves, back in 2015 I used a couple CRT monitors. Those are
long gone. The only idea I have is a space heater, but that's 850-900 watts
and will probably be too much.
Short of carrying up 20 Ubiquiti AP/POE and some surge strips, anyone
have any clever ideas? I have to carry this up 5 flights of stairs so please
be gentle :)
