This can be further divided into categories depending on the details of the technique, for example, LPCVD ( Low Pressure chemical vapor deposition ) and PECVD ( Plasma Enhanced chemical vapor deposition ).

; Low throughput: Due to varying load from other users sharing the same network resources, the bit rate ( the maximum throughput ) that can be provided to a certain data stream may be too low for realtime multimedia services if all data streams get the same scheduling priority.

To launch a space vehicle with humans on board, a mass driver's track would need to be several hundreds of kilometers long if providing almost all the velocity to Low Earth Orbit, though lesser length can provide major launch assist.

Low frequency induction is an unwanted form of inductive coupling, which can occur when a metallic pipeline is installed parallel to a high-voltage power line.

Low frequencies are not easily localized in small rooms, hence many stereo and multichannel audio systems feature only one subwoofer channel and a single subwoofer can be placed off-center without affecting the perceived sound stage, since the sound produced is difficult to localize.

Low birthweight is a risk factor for CP — and premature infants usually have low birth weights, less than 2. 0 kg, but full-term infants can also have low birth weights.
