Default What is happening with these electrics?

I am coming to the conclusion that the halogen heater has some intelligence built in. If things are not 100% it does not work.

more than unlikely.
Start by testing every socket is wired correctly. Plugging heaters & radios in does not do that!

Very doubtful indeed.

Does it have a linear, perhaps thyristor control of power, ie like a light
dimmer but for a heater? This circuit might not like things not being
completely symetrical or having varying voltage with load.
