A street light in the wrong place (6)

I believe the answer is:

astray

'in the wrong place?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a street light' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'light' becomes 'ray' (ray is a kind of light).
'a'+'st'+'ray'='ASTRAY'

(Other definitions for astray that I've seen before include "on the wrong road" , "(Gone) off course" , "Wandering lost" , "Wandering off the track" , "wide of the mark" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
