Is Trotter able to get a supporter for light holders? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

candelabra

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

'light holders?' is the definition.
'candelabra' can be an answer for 'holders?' (candelabrum is a kind of holder). I'm unsure of the 'light' bit.

'is trotter able to get a supporter' is the wordplay.
'is trotter' becomes 'Del' (Delboy Trotter from sitcom Only Fools and Horses).
'able' becomes 'cana' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to get' indicates putting letters inside.
'a supporter' becomes 'bra' (a bra gives support to breasts).
'del' put within 'cana' is 'candela'.
'candela'+'bra'='CANDELABRA'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for candelabra that I've seen before include "Kind of 1 across (correctly 1 acrosses)" , "Branched light holder" , "Groups of lights suspended from ceiling" , "Candlesticks" , "Lamp-holders" .)
