I believe the answer is:

beacon

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

'guiding light' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'danish perhaps storing energy' is the wordplay.
'danish perhaps' becomes 'beon' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'storing' is an insertion indicator.
'energy' becomes 'AC' (AC is an example).
'beon' enclosing 'ac' is 'BEACON'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beacon that I've seen before include "make light of it" , "Shiner" , "Warning or guiding device" , "Signal-fire" , "Signal fire - lighthouse" .)
