Crossword Genius

Notice one in tirade incandescent (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

radiant

'incandescent' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'notice one in tirade' is the wordplay.
'notice' becomes 'ad' (both can mean an advertisement).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'tirade' becomes 'rant' (both can mean an angry outburst).
'ad'+'i'='adi'
'adi' inserted into 'rant' is 'RADIANT'.

(Other definitions for radiant that I've seen before include "Very conspicuous" , "Luminous" , "glowing with happiness" , "Effulgent" , "Incandescent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Times and The Sun.
