Strange Heating Situation

I recently moved to a property which has a unique style of heating - Infra red ceiling panels.

I've been nervous to move my tarantulas with me because I'm worried that this style of heating will cook them (you can actually feel the heat on the top of your head if you sit for a while). Unfortunately it's the only heating source I've got and will need to keep the heat on all the time in the room I would keep them in.

Am I overthinking this or is it something to be concerend about?

I guess it depends on how many T's you have. Can you put them all on shelves where none are on the top shelf & thus not going to get direct heat?

But like you. I would be cautious of placing them under that style of heating. Until, I had found out, what it is like for them.
