Another stupid clue!
An old word for (part of) Greece, truncated, around a type of lihgt,, meaning (loosely) great....

btw the T is wrong

12ac an abbreviation of light (on the spectrum) in almost Greece
6d. Brand name, anagram of two words plus a final letter

Well I'm stuck in the bottom right. 17d, Old socialist, Spooner's Napoleon X. I have T?N? ??N? and can't think of any combinations of Ten and King or Pink that would give me am old socialist. Then 18d, two beats for number one, perhaps. S?A?? ?I?. And 25ac, so-called trees, those found on the coast line, A?A???S. I can make a case for Acacias but get no help from that for the other two. I await enlightenment.

17 is an actual person from a few years back. It's a Spooner clue - what was Napoleon's nickname?
18 two words for a strike that give a best selling record, perhaps
25 the first A is wrong

The post I just added about 17d, 18d and 25ac has not appeared. Is there ever a delay of 5 minutes? I can't bear to write it again so any kind soul who will help with those three would earn my thanks.

Aha! Thanks ChrisE. And now we know there can sometimes be a delay...

There is something odd happening on this thread. I can see all the posts, but others have commented on missing ones.
I have posted hints on the ones you asked about, ethereal.
