Portable light in a transparent case (7)

I believe the answer is:

lantern

(Other definitions for lantern that I've seen before include "Transparent case for candle" , "Leading light" , "Type of lamp" , "Light-admitting structure on roof" , "Lamp with protective transparent casing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
