Punches possessed energy? This could cover a shiner (9)

I believe the answer is:
lampshade
'this could cover a shiner' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'punches possessed energy?' is the wordplay.
'punches' becomes 'lamps' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'possessed' becomes 'had' (to have something is to possess it).
'energy?' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mca).
'lamps'+'had'+'e'='LAMPSHADE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lampshade that I've seen before include "Cover for bulb" , "Cover for domestic light" , "bit of furniture" , "light fitting" , "To give light cover" .)
