More efficient use of the available heat. Radiated infrared warms better than air heated by convection in a room. Same reason a wood stove feels so much warmer than a pellet stove.

Same BTU's but the infrared in the ceramic doesn't "see" the air although it will radiate to other solids like your body. Or so I've heard on the internet.
Don't your consumer units have dual pole isolation ? We have to have it over here by law

We don't have "consumer units" , we have service panels. And they are not required to have a main breaker in certain circumstances. The only way to kill a main lug panel is to pull the meter.

Isn't that the country that believes it's citizens can defend themselves from Polar Bears with rocks, sticks, and proper pronouns?

In a condo, there is a main breaker panel somewhere under the control of Maintenance, and each condo or apartment is just a sub-feed with a small breaker panel, and no main.
how do you work on your electrics if you can't turn them off ?

Its a condo, you don't, the maintenence team probably does.
Sounds rubbish

There are breakers for individual circuits, but no main breaker for the whole panel. But like Lt.Dan said, working on that stuff in a condo/apartment is usually frowned upon.

Are Candles Bad for You? Myths and Potential Side Effects
Burning a candle releases chemicals, but can they pose a danger to your health? Here's what the science says about which candles are healthiest.
www.healthline.com
In 2003, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) voted to ban the sale and manufacture of candles with lead wicks. They also banned the import of lead-containing candles from other countries.
Most candle manufacturers stopped using lead in their candles in the 1970s. Due to concerns that fumes could cause lead poisoning, especially in children, lead-containing candles were removed from the market.
