Lights On/Off for T/O & Ldg?

Was a FA for 4 years but now flying a 1970 10 seater piece of crap for half the money (fool).

Forget your SOP's for second - what are your personal views on whether the cabin lights should be dimmed for take off and landing?

My personal view is they should be dimmed. In the case of landing late at night, turn them up full to wake everyone up during decent/clean up but dim them by the time the dunlops are dropped.

Reasons:

1. Better night vision if the $hit hits the fan.

2. As above, more chance of eyes adjusting to the EP lights leading to the nearest exit.
