I believe the answer is:

chandelier

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

'light holder' is the definition.
'chandelier' can be an answer for 'holder' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'light' bit.

'caught labourer eli with the queen's' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'labourer' becomes 'hand' (hand is a kind of labourer).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the queen' becomes 'ER' (short for Elizabeth Regina ie Queen Elizabeth).
'c'+'hand'+'eli'+'er'='CHANDELIER'
