Why does the "dim bulb test" limit current instead of adding load to the supply?

You can still buy certain industrial / rough service incadescent 100W bulbs like https://www.amazon.com/Bulbrite-100A-RS-2PK-Incandescent-Service/dp/B017ULQIZW
Also, there are somewhat lower wattage halogen replacements (halogen tube inside an outer A-series envelope) you can use.
