All of these lamps have a screw within the base which appear to be for an earth wire - is this...

    How to open this holder?

    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.
