Light support (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

4

8

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'support' is the second definition.
(I know that beam is a type of structural member)

(Other definitions for beam that I've seen before include "A supportive" , "Smile radiantly" , "Smile; wooden supporter?" , "Column of light" , "Smile, transmit (radio signal)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
