Hotel room lights

Why can't hotel designers comprehend that customers might want a single light switch that lights up the entire room? And a single big, bright light in the centre of the ceiling?

I can't believe I'm the only person who gets frustrated with having to hunt around for the switches for 37 different table lights, bedside-lights, free-standing lamps and other bits of illuminating appliance that you need
to see well enough just to unpack my bag.

Sure, mood lighting is great if you're travelling with a partner - or you've met some random attractive stranger at the conference. But on the other 90% of occasions when a business traveller just wants somewhere to sleep, work, wake up and find the rogue sock - it's nice just to have a bit of brightness & contrast.

Couldn't agree more. Hotel rooms are always so dark! Bugs me muchly.
