Dimmed Aircraft
Cabin Lights
Why do
planes dim the cabin lights before takeoff and landing?
Facts in Brief
You have
certainly noticed that before takeoff and landing, the lights are dimmed in the
cabin, especially when it’s night
Takeoff and landing are considered to be
critical times during a flight, as these are when most safety-related incidents
tend to occur.
The interior lights or cabin lights are adjusted to match the exterior environment, so that in case of an emergency, your eyes are already accustomed to the light setting and you do not
require additional valuable seconds for adjustment to a possibly darker or
brighter environment.
This is of extra importance in case the plane
has to be evacuated quickly.Dimmed light also makes it
easier to identify the EXIT signs which
illuminate and make the guidance lighting on the floor easier to follow.
The bright emergency lighting is more prominent
to identify when the cabin light is dimmed, saving valuable seconds as
the aircraft is evacuated.
