LED manufactured by EE getting smashed with hard spade (11)
I believe the answer is:
spearheaded
'led' is the definition.
(spearheading is a kind of leading)
'ee getting smashed with hard spade' is the wordplay.
'getting smashed with' is an anagram indicator.
'hard'+'spade'='hardspade'
'ee' with its letters anagrammed with 'hardspade' makes 'SPEARHEADED'.
'manufactured by' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for spearheaded that I've seen before include "Pioneered" , "Led" .)
