The definition is at the beginning of the clue.
How the clue works
The definition is Lighter — a sun-lamp being a device that gives off light. For the wordplay, take SLAM (poetry competition) and add P (Penny) to get SLAMP, then slot in UN (the French article for 'a', so "from France") after the S, giving you S-UN-LAMP.
