brown out

When the power doesn't go out, but it fades for a second and maybe blinks.

I had to unplug some appliances because I didn't want them to be damaged by a power surge after the brown out.

brown out

interestingly enough the Brown Out is an output pin on a Microcontroller chip that indicates when power to the system is failing. e.g. when your TV tells you that the batteries in your remote are low it is because the Brown Out has flagged up a warning and the remote has transmitted that warning signal on to the TV

oh and it sounds like poo. haha

brown out

A lag in power getting to it's destination, where a black out would almost occure, but is averted at the last second. A dip in the ammount of power and quality being provided.

Damn it, that brown out fried all my electronics
