Electrician finally fixes lights around recreational area (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sparks

'electrician' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'finally fixes lights around recreational area' is the wordplay.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'recreational area' becomes 'park' (I've seen this before).
The final letters of 'fixes lights' are 'ss'.
'ss' going around 'park' is 'SPARKS'.

(Other definitions for sparks that I've seen before include "Electrical discharges" , "Fiery particles for informal electrician" , "Electricians (informal)" , "Electric discharges" , "Bright discharges" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
