Occasion when day and night are the same length (7)

I believe the answer is:

equinox

(Other definitions for equinox that I've seen before include "Autumnal - -" , "September/March date" , "Spring or autumn festival" , "Day with 12 hours of light" , "Time of day/night equality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
