Here is a link with more about RHPs: http://www.reptilebasics.com/radiant-panel-faq

I have seen people on here mention these before but couldn't seem to find any U.K retailers selling them, unless i was looking in the wrong place.

I went ahead and bought an exo terra CHE (40w) but with the fitting and guard is was massive in a 2ft viv so a RHE may be a viable option if i can find one as i'm sure i will be wanting to make use of this empty 2ft viv when it is just sitting there tomorrow.
