I'd use a halogen or projector lamp rather than a fuser lamp. They should run with a much higher filament temperature and have a greater cold/hot resistance change. It should be only a couple of ohms when cold (depending on the operating voltage) up to the calculated resistance from power/voltage at full brightness. Since it's reasonable to assume the house fuse can handle using a projector without blowing, the lamp should provide complete protection. Worst case is  a dead shorted load in which case it's the same as just using the lamp.

Unless you leave them in the fuser....or just mounted in the fuser roller...

I have an obsolete HP 8550 fuser for sale on craigslist. Maybe I'll keep it instead...:-)
