Ok.

1200W and 120 volts, that means 10 amps max.

You're shooting for 350 Watts.

Using:
P = V * I
and V = R * I

we get P = R * I * I (or P = R * I^2)

P=1200
I=10
so R is going to be 12 Ohm.

using:
P=350
and R=12
we get 5.4 amps.

The voltage would be 65 VDC.


If you could find a heater that would be less resistive, you could lower that voltage.
