I don't have one. Try a 10W light bulb.

I have occasionally seen folks using power resistors for the application
as well. Try 10 to 100 ohms.


He wasnts to keep it dry, not set it on fire.


10 Ohms would dissiapate 1322.5 watts @ 115 VAC

100 Ohms would dissiapate 132.25 watts @ 115 VAC

1000 Ohms would dissiapate 13.225 watts @ 115 VAC

2500 Ohms would dissiapate 5.29 watts @ 115 VAC
