candelabra

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

'light structure precariously balanced on middle of decoration' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'precariously balanced on middle of decoration' is the wordplay.
'precariously' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'middle of' means to look at the middle letters.
The central letters of 'decoration' are 'ra'.
'balanced' anagrammed gives 'candelab'.
'candelab'+'ra'='CANDELABRA'

Can you help me to learn more?
