Actually, on the 767 particularly, I find it curious that the side-wall lights are left on "dim" with the aisle lights off. This basically bathes the window seat occupant in lots of light, and leaves the rest of the cabin fairly dark.

It would surely make sense the other way around? The side-wall lights off, so the passenger in the window can see out clearly (or snooze), and the aisle lights on dim which gives more light for the crew working in the cabin without being in anyone's face.

I actually asked the CSD to do it that way around on an Athens flight, and it seemed much better.

What do you think?
