Setting up a ceramic heater

[DanP]

I'm looking into setting up a ceramic heater in a wooden viv. I'm not quite sure of some of the details and hoped someone with more experience wouldn't mind helping please?

I've been looking on livefoods.co.uk and found the basic ceramic bulbs. I was planning to screw it into this fitting: Livefood UK Ltd.

I'm also planning to get this guard: Livefood UK Ltd.

Also featured on the site are ceramic heater shields (Livefood UK Ltd.) but I'm not sure if they're needed, and if they are, how they should be earthed. Could anyone tell me what's needed in setting this up please?

Many thanks
