From what I've seen in tom's design it needs to be running on a thermostat set around 80F. Also with a wall keeping from direct contact to prevent burning.
They're very safe and energy efficient. I set mine on a thermostat at 90f in my tortoise house.
I use one in my greenhouse to keep the plants from freezing. It's a great heater and works well.
