Yes! You know the way your pupils get smaller to control the amount of light entering the eye? Little known fact: somoething similar happens in the ears. Bright lights cause the ears to close up!
ok, ok, I admit it: that is absolute rubbish, and I just made it up. Or is it? Psychologically, I think there is something that works like that. I hate auditoriums with bright, dazzling lights as much as hate the ones with bad sound.
Dim lights, relax, listen. Sounds good to me
Bright light means brain is sending signals to eye muscles to shrink the pupils. We should always try to keep our brains least occupied in other tasks than focussing on music thereby removing any perception jitters. Let us talk digital.
