which is cheaper to heat a room with

Electric radiator or one of those halogen heaters, gas not an option in a all electric flat, it has storage heaters but cannot get on with those at all.

Learn to use the storage heaters. Set the input on max and the output on the lowest setting. They'll cost about £1 per night each to load up with heat and release it slowly over the day. If you bought an electric radiator or halogen heater it will cost you a lot more but they cost the same to run. The halogen will appear cheaper but it's always on and the convector heater will cycle on and off.

Do not want heat during day - as least not all the time, so would prefer to be able to switch on and off as required. This does not appear to be an option with storage heaters . Not really considering a convector more interested in a electric rad or the halogen ones

In my experience halogen heaters are only any good if you are sitting by them, I prefer oil filled they take a while to heat but they heat the air in the room like a central heating rad, not like the halogen only heats the object in front of it.
