Using a light bulb for a load for scr controller

I bought a new scope.  I want to test it out, on Friday, at my work place.  And, I want to test it on one of our KB Electronics, Inc 1 hp, SCR controllers, because they are quite simple comparitively speaking.  They normally output FLA 14 ampere.  And, the output is 90 Volts.  I want another load (besides a 1 hp motor) that is not too expensive and easy to get, and safer and less complicated than a resistor (that would have to be high in wattage).  Although, a good resistor is a possibility.  What can I use as a load?  I am going to use a light bulb if I can not find something better.
