How to open this holder?

wizzard · Aug 5, 2019

I just cannot seem to "twist" this to open it and replace it with a new one. There does not seem to be any locks or screws holding it. The cord hold is unscrewed, so it is not that holding it.

The two halves lock together when assembled and are designed not to come apart again.

Just cut the cable after safely isolating and locking off the supply

Thanks but need to remove it from the clamp to fit a new one. Do I just "break"the unit?

The cord grip should unscrew from the lampholder, and it looks like that is all that is holding the lampholder in place

Many thanks will try it out. Is this a common - to "fuse" it at the production time?

Sparks tool kit, screwdriver and hammer, you've exhausted half the tool options.

In other words tw4t it, after safe isomolation.

If you look at the outer edge of the metal ring that the build lugs fit in to Ullapool see a bit of the metal the ring is made of where a bit of it sticks out and it grabs against steps in the plastic bit ull need to bend it inwards to stop it gripping against the outer bit
