brownout
A brownout is a drop in voltage in an electrical power supply system, characterized by low power supply which makes lights dim and typically lasts for a few minutes to a few hours. It can be intentional, a measure used by power companies to prevent a total blackout when they anticipate excessive demand, or unintentional, caused by overloads or severe weather conditions.
