Another possibility are 12v RV incandescent lamps. A 50w lamp will draw
4 amps. Hook a bunch of sockets in parallel and screw in the number of
lamps necessary for the desired load. The light will remind you that
the load is still connected and you don't need a cooling fan.

Don,
It may be overkill to fabricate a load tester for just your 40A power
supply, but it can be handy to have around. Here's what I suggest: Buy at
least six 2 ohm 100 watt wirewound power resistors, and connect each one in
series with a toggle switch such as might be used for controlling a cei
What about some incandecent light bulbs ?

Go to your local Home Depot or Lowes and buy a 100 foot roll of #12-2 or 12-3
copper wire. #12 wire has a resistance of .159 Ohms per 100 feet so if you
hook the Black and White conductors together on one end and then put your power
supply on the other end you will have a high powered resistor
