Annoying fly around light's in a muddle (7)

I believe the answer is:

tangled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in a muddle' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'annoying fly around light's' is the wordplay.
'annoying fly' becomes 'gnat' (I've seen this in another clue).
'around' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'light' becomes 'led' (light-emitting diode).
'gnat' back-to-front is 'tang'.
'tang'+'led'='TANGLED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tangled that I've seen before include "Caught" , "Knotty; snarled" , "Knotted" , "Convoluted" , "Muddled together, complicated" .)
