lite
Reduced calorie label
Lite is an informal spelling of light, used almost exclusively in marketing and casual writing.
It typically describes products reduced in calories, fat, alcohol, or complexity: lite beer, lite mayo, a lite version of the software.
The spelling signals something stripped down or less demanding—often with a faintly dismissive tone when applied outside product names: philosophy lite, democracy lite.
