Thanks for posting this, mine just came in and I ran into the same issue. One 10m length draws about about 250mA when driven at 6V.

Does this unit have OCP/OVP?
Edit: heh, well it seems to have some sort of fault mode where after a short you need to plug a charger back in to reset it. Think I'll add a fuse to my circuit just in case.

Place a 50 ohm, >1/2W resistor in parallel to your actual load. It will draw the ~100mA required to keep the battery on. Kind of a waste though....maybe try adding more LEDs until you're drawing enough current.
-
From testing my project the pack stayed on when sourcing about 160mA and turned off when sourcing 80mA. My guess would be the minimum "stay on" draw is probably 100mA.

we assumed that only our box is on that plane
Seems like that would give you a value many magnitudes greater than the actual. Maybe for a more accurate estimate:
Emissions generated transporting your box = Total Aircraft Emissions*(Weight of your box/Max payload weight of aircraft)
You'd still have to make quite a few broad assumptions (aircraft at max capacity, etc) but if you know the shipping company and route you should be able to find the exact type of aircraft used.

Just fyi it appears to use about 150mA
No public wish lists :(
