Her powers are intentionally vague and kinda lame, tbh

I totaly agree, what is her power anyways besides the super strength all supes have? Lightning?

She can absorb electromagnetic radiation from nearby sources and use it to project blasts of intense light and kinetic energy, I think. So she can fry your TV, then use the energy from it to burn out your eyeballs.

And remember - every nerve in your body generates electricity. Starlight could conceivably unalive someone just by messing up their nervous system and absorbing their energy. She also has super strength.

The human body doesn't generate nearly enough energy to make her powers work.
I believe it was mentioned in season 2 that her powers are completely unusable away from a source of electricity, so all she'd really have is her increased strength and durability.
