Glow in arcade explosively (8)

I believe the answer is:

radiance

'glow' is the definition.
(I know that glow can be written as radiance)

'in arcade explosively' is the wordplay.
'explosively' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'arcade'='inarcade'
'inarcade' anagrammed gives 'RADIANCE'.

(Other definitions for radiance that I've seen before include "Refulgence" , "Joyful splendour" , "Brightness" , "moonlight" , "A bright glow (E, not Y)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
