Rotating rod — ray of light (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shaft

(Other definitions for shaft that I've seen before include "Vertical passageway, into a mine say" , "Vertical excavation" , "Arrow part" , "Beam - well" , "Long slender part or deep vertical opening" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
