'torch bearers?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'torch bearers?' is the wordplay.
'torch' becomes 'lamp' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'bearers?' becomes 'holders' (bearer is a kind of holder).
'lamp'+'holders'='LAMPHOLDERS'
