Default Dummy load for SMPS

A 60 watt light bulb makes a near perfect load for the 130 volt line.
The other section of that power supply doesn't like to be run unloaded, just
desolder the wire(coil) that supplies the STRS5141G while you test the
section with the STRS6301.

Good Luck,

om...
I am troubleshooting a SMPS for a projection tv and am not too sure on
what the load should be. The prints only mention voltages, no loads.
The schematics show that a +130vdc line is connected to a
photocoupler, so im assuming this is the line that is used for
feedback regulation, and therefore the one that needs the load. I have
looked all over google for "dummy load" and cant really find a good
site to help me out on this. Any ideas Sam? The sticker on the outside
of the smps says 120v 150w if that helps.
