Why when the plane took off, landed only to dim the lights?

Whenever the aircraft is about to take off or land, the light in the cabin is reduced to the lowest level. Surely anyone who has ever been on a plane has realized this. But have you ever asked why?

Many people believe that it is because the flight crew wants you to stop reading or watch the newspaper and listen to their announcement. But the truth is not that, a pilot answered us this question.

Leaving the dark light dim will help your eyes get used to the dark faster.

Chris Cooke, a pilot who has done a lot of big flights has presented to Travel + Leisure magazine that such dark lighting is a guarantee of your own safety, not just a dark / light issue. He explained that this is a way for passengers' eyes to adjust quickly enough in case of flight problems , forced to evacuate urgently:

"Imagine you are in a room that is not familiar, bright and full of obstacles, then suddenly someone turns off the lights, asking you to leave as quickly as possible."

Obviously, it would be easier to dim from dark to dark than the bright word becomes dark. You will be able to see the object in the dark more easily, and make it easier to evacuate when something goes wrong.That is why the aircraft window needs to be opened in case of take-off and landing to get natural light , to help passengers move safely.
