Light competition? (5)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

3,4

match

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'light' is the first definition.
(I know that match is a type of light)

'competition?' is the second definition.
(I know that match is a type of competition)

(Other definitions for match that I've seen before include "of little use when floodlights fail?" , "Lighter; contest" , "one's struck" , "Striker < in suit" , "Sporting event" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
