Here's my bulb. Can this just go in a ceramic fixture?

You definitely want a ceramic socket since these get pretty hot
yep! I use a dimmable fixture for the CHE bulb, though, so I can manage the temps better.
CHEs get hotter than regular bulbs of the same wattage, so I like to make sure my fixtures are rated for something higher than the wattage of my CHE. For example, if my CHE is 100 watts, I will use a fixture rated to 250 watts or more.
If your CHE is a 60 watt, then a ceramic fixture rated to 150 watts or more should work just fine.
I wouldn't use a 100 watt CHE in a desk lamp fixture that was rated to 100 watts, in other words.
all che should be standard e27 ?
