Well, the thing is, I was trying to make a point that you DON'T need diodes, as you aren't going to need to protect against the lightbulb charging your battery.
If you don't know what kind of diode to use then you don't know enough about basic electronics to realize that you don't need a diode. Just get a resistive load and like mcguyver said, 1V of load per cell.
Summary: You don't need special protection in discharging!
Just lightbulb that sucker and you're good to go.
