see the little ridges
they should turn
and then that section will drop out - with the lamp on a cable
the light bulb is held into the holder with spring clips
if the same as the many i have changed for a family friend
i will try and see if a diagram is on the web....

Centre twists as above, however they tend to jam in place, particularly with blazing hot halogen lamps and even more so if in a bathroom or kitchen due to moisture.
The whole thing will pull out of the ceiling, caution required as there are 2 spring which hold it in and they are good at snapping onto your fingers.
Will then be easier to hold the outer and turn the inner with pliers or similar.

i cannot remember for sure - pretty certain anticlockwise as normal
mine i cant remember now if they had 3 ridges or 2 - i think 3 which made it easier to push up and around a little
only a small turn cant remember if quarter turn
yes some have been difficult to turn and as not my property very aware of the damage that maybe caused by the whole thing turning
i made sure i was on a good ladder and comfatable and not doing it quickly
not quite the same as the ones i change
but close enough

you are welcome, glad its worked ok
put a date on the bulb, well the bit at the back that connects - i did , i seemed to change a few every visit , and was surprised some lasted under a year , so changed the supplier - to TLC , i think - she had about 30 of them in kitchen , hallway, utility room

Ouch, has she bypassed the meter since October?
it gets worse - she changed all her storage heaters for Fischer - Electric doubled ... i hate to think whats the bill at the moment - she is very off - so its not an issue , very luckly - but had her own business and worked hard , before retiring at 70 and selling the business
she often runs things past me - but didnt bother with this - until the installation !!!!!!!
*very WELL off* hehe
