I've just had a thought, what is the chance of these heaters being made for unswitched sockets?
The light remaining on may be a visual indication to withdraw the plug when not in use, nowadays though, sockets have their own in-built red indicator on the switch top to show it's on.
My Grandfather's house was built in 1970, it had annoying unswitched single sockets everywhere, the only way to power down is with plug withdraw.
Just a thought at least.
