Lift up beams as stated (5)
I believe the answer is:
raise
'lift up' is the definition.
(raise can mean to lift up)
'beams as stated' is the wordplay.
'beams' becomes 'rays' (rays of light).
'as stated' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'rays' sounds like 'RAISE'.
(Other definitions for raise that I've seen before include "More money from America" , "Cultivate by growing" , "Breed" , "Inflate" , "Hoist" .)
