One way to dress for disco lighting (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strobe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disco lighting' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'one way to dress' is the wordplay.
'one way' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for street).
'to dress' becomes 'robe' (robing is a kind of dressing).
'st'+'robe'='STROBE'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for strobe that I've seen before include "Rapidly flashing lighting often used on stage" , "Flashing-light device" , "Sorbet (anag) -flashing light" , "Flashing lamp" , "Light that seems to spin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
