Installing the 40mm BC 4 Part Lampholder
This quick guide here is to help to install our 40mm BC 4 part lampholder.
This item comes in 4 parts, however sometimes we do put 2 of the parts together, so may arrive in 3 pieces.
Step 1
Separate the lampholder into the 3 parts and screw the bottom of the lampholder onto your light fitting.
And tighten the small grub screw inside the cap (This is important).

Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Take the skirt of the lampholder and twist it onto the assembly note there will be some ratchet like clicking sounds.
This is the locking barb locking the skirt to the cap, more information on this below.
The locking barb is designed to prevent the lampholder from separating accidentally.
However, there may be a time when you need to gain access to the inside of the lampholder, if you do then please follow this guide below.
Here is an image of the location of the locking barb once installed, as you can see there is a metal tag that's bent outwards and is hiding the plastic ribs in the inside of the skirt.
You will need to grab a small screwdriver and bend it inwards to clear the plastic ribs.
Once you have removed the lampholder you will need to bend that metal tag back out so when you screw the skirt back on it engages the locking barb again.
A quick video on how to unlock the barb below.
