Rays of light (6)

I believe the answer is:

shafts

(Other definitions for shafts that I've seen before include "Vertical or sloping passages in mines" , "Arrows or mine tunnels" , "Arrows or mine passages" , "The long parts of spear or arrow" , "Arrows and rays of light" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
