Rare rafinmd Posted January 22, 2014 Author #57 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Can anyone tell me why they have the bridge dark when they sail? When you're in darkness your eyes tend to adjust, I think mainly by the pupils getting larger to let more light shine through. If the front of the ship is lit up, the bridge staff's eyes "think" it is bright and they don't adjust. The crew wants to see in the distance, and the best way to do that at night is to be in darkness. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
