Team turning on renowned inventor (6)

I believe the answer is:

edison

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

'renowned inventor' is the definition.
'Edison' can be an answer for 'inventor' (Edison is an example). I'm not sure about the 'renowned' bit.

'team turning on' is the wordplay.
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'turning' is a reversal indicator.
'side' in reverse letter order is 'edis'.
'edis'+'on'='EDISON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for edison that I've seen before include "No side to this american inventor" , "inventive sort" , "Prolific inventor" , "Incandescent light inventor" , "US scientist/inventor" .)
