The socket is fixed at the top with a wide ring. This ring is secured against unscrewing by a small brass catch.
Press the brass catch with a small flat-blade screwdriver about 1 mm toward the center of the socket. Do not bend the brass catch too much.
Depending on the socket, the notch may look different. You may have to push it down.
Then unscrew the wide ring on the lamp socket.

Passo 8

Here is a picture of the switch. You can buy the complete set quite expensive from Artemide, because the socket has been machined by hand. This has the advantage that you can also renew the socket.
You may also find the switch on its own, which is cheaper. It is a snap-in rocker switch with screw connection. The cutout size is 20 x 14 mm, 15 mm installation depth from the frame. The frame is 3 mm high with the dimensions 26x16 mm. This one could fit.

Thanks for the article. When I get to step 5, I don't see an Allen screw. See the linked images. Do you know how I would remove the cable from the socket?
