Ceramic globe question

Just wondering if anyone knows if there are any ceramic globe that plug into a standard light fitting or is a ceramic base a prerequisite due to the amount of heat they can put out. I've got some spare ceramic globes but they are the screw in (bayonet) type and would like to put them into standard light fittings.

Thanks...

If such a ceramic heater (ie one with a bayonet type fitting) exists, I've never seen it. I think they only come in ES. You can buy ES to bayonet adaptors from the herp shop, the only problem is the heater will hang quite low and you may need to have quite a deep light cage.

I always thought the Edison Screw in ceramics were not standard but it appears they are. I've always wanted to know the answer to this, I've seen some people also mount the ceramic base onto a separate piece of wood and then secure to the roof of the enclosure, for added insulation i guess, they would get pretty hot.
