It’s because the light on the inside is preventing your pupils from getting larger to better see in the dark. Take a hand mirror with you and step outside on a sunny day. Look at your own pupils, in the mirror. They will be small. Bigger pupils (not exposed to light) are necessary to see better in darkness.
