Lighting electrified letters with little current (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
street lamp
'lighting' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'electrified letters with little current' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'letters' is 'streetl' which is present in the answer.
'current' could be 'amp' (electricity) and 'amp' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for street lamp that I've seen before include "Glare coming from this" , "Pavement illuminator" , "Illumination on post" , "Wayside light" .)
