Flashy sort of striker? (9)

I believe the answer is:

lightning

(Other definitions for lightning that I've seen before include "Precaution against electrical storms" , "Atmospheric discharge" , "Flash in the sky" , "Metal device on building for diverting natural electric discharges" , "What's conducted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
