Portable case for a light (7)

I believe the answer is:

lantern

(Other definitions for lantern that I've seen before include "Cased lamp" , "Leading light" , "It illuminates" , "Light in a transparent protective case" , "Light-admitting structure on roof" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
