How to open this holder?

[wizzard]

Thanks guys. I will replace all the holders in my first post with this E27 type holder. I am assuming that it will be ok to use a LED bulb up to 9 to 12W?

You could buy BC22 to E27 adaptors

Sure. But this is a E27 as I am standardizing all 8 to be E27.

Could not get it to open, so cut the cable near the cord grip, unscrewed the cord grip and the socket came off. Cannot see the lock mechenism in it, so this option.

Still, can I use it with 9w or highr LED bulb with it?

Yes. The fitting is designed for a max 60W incandescent lamp. LEDs run much cooler.

Thanks a lot Gary! You were right. I managed to break one but an electrician friend was around and managed to get to the the "lock" shown in the photos above. Rest of the 10 or so replacements were easy!

Thanks again. I never ever thought that old bayonet type had this "stupid" lock mechanism in it.
