I ordered one from i-marketcity.com and it was a stand heater for indoor/outdoor use. You can find it under patio heaters.

I mentioned these on another thread:

Heat pumps and wall mounted units.

To cover a heat lamp you can take 1/4 inch metal mesh, make a cyliner or box with a bottom, a top with a hole for the cord...drop the lamp into it and keep the bottom of the lamp slightly from touching the wire. Secure the cord onto the wire with zip ties to keep it in place within the wire mesh box.
