Around end of watch, escort put out lights (7)
I believe the answer is:
torches
'lights' is the definition.
(torch is a kind of light)
'around end of watch escort put out' is the wordplay.
'around end of' says to take the final letters.
'put out' is an anagram indicator.
The last letter of 'watch' is 'h'.
'h'+'escort'='hescort'
'hescort' anagrammed gives 'TORCHES'.
(Other definitions for torches that I've seen before include "Portable lights or lamps" , "Flashlights" , "Fires" , "Hand-held lights" , "Sets on fire" .)
