Purchasing test loads for drives

[Type A]

Years ago there were some people selling test load kits on here but they don't seem to exist anymore.
Is there anywhere I can purchase a test load kit to setup up my boost drivers? Or possibly directions on how to build one?

Survival Lasers used to sell them but I'm not sure if they still do or not. I just use a NUBM44 diode as a test load 99% of the time.

Do not use a diode, Not being able to look at the testload/driver testing area (most likely a bench) and the stray beam burning stuff is a bummer. Put 9 normal 5A rectifier diode in series and the forward voltage will match a blue diode approx. 11 should be good for a green diode.

I don't use a collimator on the diode so it's not burning anything. It simply aims at the ceiling and there is little to no reflection where I have it aimed. I've been using the same diode for years.

Years ago I bought 50 10 amp silicon rectifiers to use in test loads. Paid about $5 for all of them.
