dimmed lightning and window blinds?
Hello forum,
Why is the cabin lightning dimmed for landing and takeoff during night hours, and why do the blinds always have to be up for ladning and takeoff, even if it is in the middle of the day? thank you

Dont know about the blinds, but the lights are dimmed at night to allow your eyes to adjust to darkness incase things go tits up on landing/take off and you have to get out sharpish.
This subject has been done to death recently, as a quick search will reveal........
I'm still a little confused about the subject

In the event of an emergency necessitating passenger evacuation, it is essential that the cabin crew have an immediate and unobstructed view of the safest escape route/s.
Dimmed interior lighting at night allows for much improved visual perception of the outside escape area (looking from dark to light), AND
Having all window blinds up similarly allows for assessment in all directions, day or night.
Standard procedure with every airline that I know of, if not, it should be.
