One thing that we know for certain about the future and of alien species waiting for us out in the universe: None of them have discovered the usefulness of adequate lighting. And in some cases, humans have forgotten it. As the Cyberpunk movement took tropes from the gritty American detective/crime novels of the 1930s, so did films and TV shows take inspiration from the Film Noir of the same period (or based on it). Featuring darkness except for critically placed light, and often a single source of it for the entire scene, the look is dramatic. Unfortunately, in a serious case of Fridge Logic, it's pretty dumb when you think about it. Large open offices maintained in darkness except for the single desk lamps of the workers. Entrance ways and throne rooms in complete darkness but for the single row of spotlights down the middle. Looks cool, but you never see one of those deskbound workers getting up and running into the wastebasket because their vision is screwed up going from their light source into the surrounding darkness. On alien ships, this is seen frequently to show how "alien" they are. Because aliens don't, you know, need to see anything. Or they see in a spectrum of light invisible to humans. Or they evolved from something nocturnal, making human-level illumination painfully bright to them. There is a certain practical aspect to this: nothing hides cheaply-made sets and props better than poor lighting. Another explanation is that energy-efficient lightbulbs have become much more popular in the future. As to why that efficiency doesn't translate to maintaining usable brightness, don't expect an answer. Commonly known as Tech Noir. Compare City Noir, Cyberpunk with a Chance of Rain, Unnaturally Blue Lighting and Used Future. In video games, can lead to "Who Forgot The Lights?". Contrast Crystal Spires and Togas, Shining City, as well as Everything Is An I Pod In The Future. |

The Expanse features this, Justified generally as a mix of exterior shots of space and powered down ships. Capital ships, such as the UNN Agatha King and the MCRN Donnager are very brightly lit, though still avoiding the Everything Is an iPod in the Future aesthetic with very practical interior designs (as you know, you'd expect from an actual Real Life fleet with resource constraints). | |

Star Trek: Picard is also rather dimly-lit. Initially, this is because the main characters are travelling onboard La Sirena, a private speed freighter hired by Picard to operate outside of Starfleet. However, after he rejoins Starfleet, their vessels turn out to be just as dark on the inside. | |

Alien: Isolation: Sevastopol Station is a dark and dingy place born of disrepair. The station was already being decomissioned and there was only a small crew by the time the Xenomorph became a problem, the chaos of humans doing everything to try and survive the predatory alien on the prowl damaged a number of critical systems, and Special Order 939 from Weyland-Yutani given to APOLLO, the station's main control computer, dictated to Sevastopol's androids that all tasks, including basic maintenance, are secondary to guaranteeing the survival of the Xenomorph. | |

The Alien movies. The Nostromo in Alien is a downplayed example; areas like the crew quarters and the sickbay (easily identified by being mostly white) are brightly lit, and only the cargo hold and the engineering, spaces that are normally unoccupied, stay dark. The ship's bridge is fairly dark, but that's a necessary concession to the pilot's need to be able to see out of the windows during takeoff and landing. As for Aliens, the colony on LV-426 is shot to hell, everyone was dead, and much of the place had been blown up with 'seismic survey charges'; the brief scene taking place before everything goes to hell is noticeably brighter, though still on the dim side of tolerable because Weyland-Yutani isn't the type of corporation to spend more than the bare minimum on the working environment for frontline staff. Alien³: The entire setting. The surface of the penal planet is cold and dark, even when the sun shines, and the prison itself has black shadows everywhere. The look of the film has more in common with old German black-and-white films than with the preceding Alien franchise. |

Red Dwarf takes some inspiration from Alien in some parts of the ship. While the sleeping quarters are usually well lit, any time the crew end up in the corridors or the cargo bays, the scenery is very industrial and poorly lit, as is the case when they end up aboard other vessels. | |

This trope is the rule, rather than the exception, on Farscape. One episode answered the question of "why is Moya so damn dark?": aliens have FAR better vision than us little (but still "superior!") humans. Also, Moya is a living ship. It makes some sense that she'd want to conserve energy for other, more critical things, despite anything Pilot might tell her to do. In fact, the goal of the villain in "Crackers Don't Matter" is precisely to generate more light, sapping energy from the other vital system. At the height of his power, Moya is brighter than the Enterprise-D on an August afternoon. |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The station is already darker than a standard starship, but flashbacks to the ship's time in Cardassian control reveal that it used to be even darker, both owing to the Cardassians' discomfort with bright lights and to make it more ominous. Everything is dimmer in the Mirror Universe. In the conference room particularly, there is patchy lighting over everyone's faces, just like the venetian-blind-obscured lighting in much of Film Noir. |

Mass Effect The lights on the Normandy are kept very low. Between this and the bright orange computer screens, humanity has evidently conquered eyestrain. On a battleship this is potentially justified in that it makes instruments easier to see. The living sections of the ship do seem to be a lot brighter than the deck level. Inverted with Cerberus, whose stations and vessels actually have adequate lighting. Ironically, this was meant to make them seem creepier, in a cold, sterile, medical sense. |

Star Trek is usually bright and colorful, but it uses dim lighting for effect throughout the franchise: Klingon and Romulan ships in Star Trek: The Original Series were just as brightly colored inside as their Federation counterparts. Ever since the films, though, they seem to prefer seeing crewmates as dim, sinister-looking silhouettes. Star Trek: The Next Generation: The episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" features an alternate timeline where the Federation is at war with the Klingons. The bridge◊ is very dimly lit. Interestingly, the Darker and Edgier alternate timeline has an opposite effect on Ten Forward: instead of being the usual mood-lit recreational area, it's a banal mess hall with white fluorescent lighting. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The station is already darker than a standard starship, but flashbacks to the ship's time in Cardassian control reveal that it used to be even darker, both owing to the Cardassians' discomfort with bright lights and to make it more ominous. Everything is dimmer in the Mirror Universe. In the conference room particularly, there is patchy lighting over everyone's faces, just like the venetian-blind-obscured lighting in much of Film Noir. Star Trek: Voyager: This tends to be done in Voyager's meeting room whenever the situation is supposed to be serious. The lights on the Bridge also dim whenever the ship goes on Red Alert. In "Year of Hell", one of the signs that the Voyager crew is having the worst year ever is the ship looks broken and the lighting is dim. Star Trek: Discovery continues the noir lighting for the overall Darker and Edgier tone of the series. Star Trek: Picard is also rather dimly-lit. Initially, this is because the main characters are travelling onboard La Sirena, a private speed freighter hired by Picard to operate outside of Starfleet. However, after he rejoins Starfleet, their vessels turn out to be just as dark on the inside. |

Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion has the Deepsea Metro, the most technologically advanced setting in the franchise thus far, but simultaneously the most dimly lit, moody setting in the franchise. The central station, for instance, only has a single row of lights hanging from the ceiling, none of which are bright enough to liven up the place, and some of which are broken, and the rest of the region is rarely brighter than that. Of course, considering it is based on, well, the deep sea, it would make sense for everything to be murky. | |

Stargate Universe: For some reason, interiors of Destiny are very dark. Justified in-universe because Destiny is always running on the stray edge of being out of power, is falling apart at the joints and hasn't had living-people maintenance of any kind in a million years. The fact that it has working lights at all is a minor miracle and considering that in many cases they were lacking power and parts for life support and basic functions, it's easy to justify leaving the lights down low and not repairing them all. | |

A lot of the environments in the The Chronicles of Riddick games (and Dark Fury) have very high-contrast lighting, with lots of shadows. The lead character can see in the dark. The first game (Escape from Butcher Bay) takes place in the universe's toughest prison, and Dark Fury and Assault on Dark Athena on spaceships run by bounty-hunting mercenaries. You'd think it'd be in their best interest to keep the lights on. | |

Terry Gilliam's dystopian Sci-Fi movie Brazil. Though this one is justified by the background, because given how inept Central Servicesnote the red-tape bound bureaucracy that provides heating, cooling, water, power, and pretty much everything else is, it's not surprising that everything not deemed utterly essential is permanently in a state of brownout. | |

Doom³: The Mars City UAC base on Mars is a dingy place from power oscillations and difficulties with maintenance, reinforced by several audio logs and e-mails from UAC workers complaining about the base's poor lighting. Even the manual itself states that it's why every member of the security personnel has to carry a flashlight. Then the infernal outbreak begins, hellspawn trash the entire base, and light becomes practically nonexistent other than the player's Infinite Flashlight and the fireballs of demons. It doesn't help that the lighting engine renders sharp black shadows in such a way that increasing the screen's brightness is no help at all. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: The episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" features an alternate timeline where the Federation is at war with the Klingons. The bridge◊ is very dimly lit. Interestingly, the Darker and Edgier alternate timeline has an opposite effect on Ten Forward: instead of being the usual mood-lit recreational area, it's a banal mess hall with white fluorescent lighting. | |
