Torch that's showy and easily carried (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flashlight

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

'torch' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'showy and easily carried' is the wordplay.
'showy' becomes 'flash' (I've seen this before).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'easily carried' becomes 'light' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'flash'+'light'='FLASHLIGHT'

'that's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flashlight that I've seen before include "Beamer" , "It may be needed to see" , "Electric torch" , "shiner" , "that's illuminating" .)
