That's true to some extent, but themes that are too bright can also be rough on the eyes. I find that brightness hurts my eyes much more than a darker theme does. Well, I should clarify. Dark copy on a dark background can create strain, but if the copy is clear and bright enough, it works.
If I had to choose between only those two, I'd choose a darker theme every time. I get that bright looks nice and clean for business, but try staring at a bright, white screen all day. It's harsh. I much prefer something more subtle (some light grey, light blue, like this site for example) than the far ends of the spectrum.
