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

This clue could be a double definition.

'land' is the first definition.
(light can mean to settle or land)

'light' can be an answer for 'sun?' (sun is a kind of light). I am not certain of the 'rising' bit.

'of the' is the link.

(Other definitions for light that I've seen before include "free gift from The Sun" , "Portable" , "skedaddle!" , "Source of illumination" , "Not too demanding" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
