Wander in street with just a bit of light (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stray

'wander' is the definition.
('stray' can be a synonym of 'wander')

'street with just a bit of light' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st'.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'just a bit of light' becomes 'ray'.
'st'+'ray'='STRAY'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for stray that I've seen before include "Appearing occasionally" , "Depart from the right path" , "digress" , "Lost pet" , "Waif and - -" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
