With the pearlco ceramics do you still need the larger cage? They look like the size of a normal lightglobe, or am i worng?

| | | | They are a bit bigger than a normal lightbulb. You will need a slightly larger than normal mesh housing for them, and make sure you use the all-ceramic edison fitting for them cause they can get quite hot.
but im sure if the fitting is rated for 150watts ect then it should be fine for a ceramic of the same wattage. | | |
