My roommate constantly turns the lights off

My roommate is a close friend of mine, and just about anytime he is in our dorm room, (which is basically the entire day) he turns every single light source off. Closes our blinds and turns off any lamps or overhead lights. The only thing he will turn on are small colored lights that barely light up the room. I’m not talking about at night, I mean anytime from 10am-midnight. What’s annoying is if I turn them back on, the next time he gets up he turns them back off. If I ask him to turn them on, he straight up says no and gets pissed off projecting insults at me. He doesn’t ever ask if it’s alright with me to turn them off, he just does. One time he even asked, in a very judging tone, why I would want the lights on (during the day). I make a lot of effort to accommodate him and his lazy lifestyle, but he does nothing for me (it’s not just the lights, but I don’t need to go on about the rest). What can I do about this, because I’m seriously considering trying to get a new roommate. I’ve known him since elementary school, but I can not stand living with him.
