low-power
Minimal energy consumption
Low-power describes something that uses or produces relatively little energy or force.
A low-power radio transmitter has limited range.
Low-power electronics conserve battery life.
A low-power laser won't burn through materials.
The term appears in technical contexts where energy consumption or output matters: low-power mode, low-power computing.
