That means you have to reach inside to turn it off where the hot bulb is. The better option would be to plug these in to a wall outlet connected to a switch, so you can use the light switch to turn them on/off instead of the socket.
You should also know that both sockets rotate, not because theyre loose, but because thats how the lamps turned out when they were designed. If you want to unscrew a bulb, you have to reach in with one hand to hold the socket so it doesnt twist. _gsrx_vers_827 GS 7.0.13 (827).
