Tell your "friend" that on landing, it's a secret last call notice for the mile high club.

The FAA requires that the cabin lights be dimmed so vision is better adjusted to the dark and the emergency evacuation lights are more visible. Just in the unlikely case something were to happen.
To simplify the process of determining when to do this and when not. They just require it done all the time.

i'm really positive the 0.33 answer is ideal. it truly is so as that in case of any type of malfunction, anybody is used to the lights so human beings can get out, and used to the surroudings and only act without delay. yet thats only a protection precaution quite, i imagine its also tremendous for seeing city lights, theres some thing astounding about flying! =D x.

FAA regs require this so the passengers eyes adjust somewhat to the outside lighting. IN case of emergency, you can evacuate a little more expeditiously.
As others have said, it also highlights the emergency lighting/exits.

Its a normal procudure for take off and landing..Thats because the eyes need time to adjust to different amount of light..if your at a dark cabin and in an event of emergency suddenly exposed to a higher amount of light it will take time to adjust itself..

They did the lights on board the plane so that people would be more comfortable in case they are or going to sleep.

To encourage you to stay seated, and not to try to get your overhead bags, and to stop you from thinking about traveling throughout the plane.
GOD bless us one and all, always.

It's all psychological.
In a dimly lit room people tend to relax more.
