Are you on the latest MIA-MSY flight? The lights are always dimmed when I fly this route. In fact, it seems like the lights are pretty much always dimmed on evening/night flights.
I guess the FAs forgot/kept the lights on to more easily conduct the beverage service.

I was on a flight from ORD to LAX, late night flight. The FAs turn the lights out in first class, but left the lights on in coach. I asked if they could turn the lights out in coach and I was told they could not because it was a "security issue".

Just ask the crew to turn off the lights! Normally they are happy to make you more comfortable and will do so if you tell them the bright lights in your eyes are annoying. I do it all the time.
