'switch the light on' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'i need time to consider' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'i' could be 'me' and 'me' is found in the answer.
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is found within the answer.
'consider' could be 'see' (synonyms) and 'see' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
