low-powered

adjective lower-powered · lowest-powered

Possessing little power or capacity. To me it seems that extensive investment in relatively low-powered units may have the same ultimate result of motive power shortage as that which afflicts the London Midland Region today, and which has compelled the re-engining of some of the earlier multiple-unit diesel train sets.
Of an instrument, capable of minimal magnification.
Opposite: high-powered
