Detonating on IOW left weird light in bay (5,6)

I believe the answer is:

oriel window

'light in bay' is the definition.
(window for light built into a bay)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Another definition for oriel window that I've seen is " Architectural upper-storey feature".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
