Please put the lamp out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

delight

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'please' is the first definition.
(I know that please can be written as delight)

'the lamp out' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'put' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for delight that I've seen before include "Extreme satisfaction" , "Pleasure (possibly Turkish?)" , "It could be Turkish" , "Glee; its spirit rare, Shelley" , "Joy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
