Was the last season lit differently?

It's kind of hard to explain. But in the eighth and last season of Diff'rent Strokes (when the show moved from NBC to ABC), it seemed like the lighting got darker/dimmer.

Maybe it's just my imagination since of course, the Drummond's penthouse was painted differently, too look more "pastel". And of course since, the Season 8 episodes are "newer", one would automatically assume that the videotaping technology/production values would much more sophisticated than before.

I know that DS for its last season, was shot at the ABC Television Center after spending the previous three years being shot at Universal Studios by Compact Video.
