They're handy little desk heaters with a heating element in the form of a quartz U-tube surrounded by a metal cage. The wattages are fairly low at 200 to 300W and they give off a decent radiant heat. These contain no safety devices at all. No tilt switch to detect if they have been knocked over, and no thermal fuse as a last resort if they are covered. As such they pose a significant fire risk unless firmly anchored down with a clap or bracket. I thought I'd take one to bits to see if the heating element has other uses. If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- http://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
