European Airbus drivers - Dome Light for Night Takeoff?

I am hearing some scuttlebutt that "in Europe" every night takeoff is done with the cockpit dome light in "Dim" (low) position. The theory is in the event of a catastrophic complete electrical power loss (except for the battery), the switch in low will result in the dome light remaining on, as it is on the Hot Batt bus.

So, what you you guys doing in Europe? You guys built the plane so I am always interested to hear what you folks are doing.

Thank you
