Thats a normal procedure for landing for all airliners. This is because if there is light in the cabin your eyes are used to the amount of light and brightness inside the cabin but incase of an emergency when you rush out of the cabin its dark outside and it will take some time for your eyes to adjust to the amount of light outside. So its normal procedure for take off and landing.

The lights are dimmed so that passengers’ eyes get accustomed to the darkness in case there is an emergency on takeoffs and landing - which is when most emergencies occur. Also, the exit signs and the strips on the floor which are illuminated are seen better with cabin lights off.

I've heard that they dim the lights to get everyones eyes accustomed to the light incase there has to be an emergency evacuation from the plane during take off or landing.

I suppose it remove some of the lights visable from the run way. So air traffic control can see if there are any problems in the aircrafts approach. Probably more useful back-in-the-day.

So that you can see the skyline/lights/scenery out the window. It's supposed to relax people.
