There are two types of photoreceptors in the human eye, namely rods and cons.
Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels. They do not mediate colour vision.
Cones are responsible for vision at higher light levels. They are capable of colour vision. The cones of the retina are sensitive to bright light.
So, the given statement is false.
