Like a brand-new candle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unlit

'like a brand-new candle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for unlit that I've seen before include "Shadowy" , "Left in the dark" , "Until (anag.)" , "Not yet burning" , "dim" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Universal.
