Cleaner hid out in the light (10)
I believe the answer is:
chandelier
'light' is the definition.
(hanging light with candles)
'cleaner hid out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'cleaner'+'hid'='cleanerhid'
'cleanerhid' is an anagram of 'CHANDELIER'.
'in the' is the link.
(Other definitions for chandelier that I've seen before include "Large hanging light" , "lights up?" , "Ornamental light fitting" , "Ornamental lighting fixture" , "Hanging light fixture" .)
