Yes this is exactly what i am thinking of but why are they only rated
at just over 1kW, compared to 2 or 3 kW for other heaters? Are they
more efficient?

I think the theory is that they warm 'you' - rather than 'your
surroundings' - and, as such, require less power for the same effect.

This was true at the last house where my outside 'studio' was heated
by a single 1kw 'bathroom'-style radiant heater. The studio itself
remained fairly cool, but people in there felt warm - all except for
the toes which tended to freeze ! (concrete slab floor)

New studio will have radiant heating and a suspended chip floor on
insulation !

Hope this helps
