Light whip for light control (6)
I believe the answer is:
switch
This might be a double definition.
'light whip' is the first definition.
'switch' can be an answer for 'whip' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'light' bit.
'light control' is the second definition.
'switch' can be an answer for 'control' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'light' bit.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for switch that I've seen before include "One may be off" , "Circuit breaker; change" , "Change; flexible shoot" , "Device for opening and closing electric circuits" , "Device for completing or breaking an electrical circuit" .)
