Smiles at rays (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beams

This clue is a double definition.

'smiles' is the first definition.
(beaming is a kind of smiling)

'rays' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'Rays of light ' mean 'beams' so perhaps 'rays' could also mean 'beams')

'at' is the link.

(Other definitions for beams that I've seen before include "Smiles; joists" , "Smiles broadly or sunnily" , "Shines" , "Rays of light" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
