I don’t know why they liked things so poorly lit on Picard. The Stargazer / Titan bridge was especially bad. It made the return to the D bridge even sweeter. (Though I think it was still darker than it was in the 90’s.)
Terrans had light sensitivity issues. It’s a plot point in Discovery.
Let’s explore then, shall we?

Yup, notable dimming.
Geordi was the one fixing it up. Between the crash and him fixing it he got his fancy VISOR replacement eyes. So maybe he thought he was getting the right lumens but in reality he didn’t.
I concur that this is the canon reason.
The harsh lighting in the first couple of seasons harkened back to TOS. Then the lights got warmer.
I don’t know how they did it, but they managed to find a lighting scheme in Picard that makes all the warm earth tones of the bridge look sickly and green.
“No-talent ass clowns.”
I don’t like Michael’s level lighting at home or at work, so this makes sense to me. Turn it down. Dark mode on screens. It’s better.
Easier on the eyes is good, but there are limits.
No idea what that is but I’m going to guess Xfiles. Based on lighting.
I prefer to pick the max brightness in tv/monitor settings. Not have the creators crush every color into the lower half of the color space…
How is that not like staring into the business end of a flashlight?
