Now I know usually the plugs say don't use with fan heater etc as they
need to be supervised, this unit is ok as it does not burn and will
switch off if knocked over.

I suspect it's the heating of something flamable near the heater that is
the main risk. I'd be wary of using a radiant heat heater (which I think
halogen jobbies are) in this application as something many feet away
could get heated a great deal. I'd be happier with a low power fan
heater, convector or better an oil filled radiator placed well away from
anything. Get a heater with a thermostat and wind it down low and you
won't be using power when it's not needed either, a time switch will
power the heater regardless of the requirement.
