If a light, bright background hurts your eyes or triggers photosensitivity, you can enable LinkedIn’s dark mode. But if you believe a dark theme stresses your eyes, you can switch to the light mode.  

It all depends on your preference, so choose a theme that suits your eyes and increases readability.
