I remember reading somewhere in a Mammar from the Rebbe Rashab, that darkness was a creation as well. The question might be, what was the 'Tohu Vavohu' that the torah speaks of? What did the 'Makom Panu' look like and feel like? was it dark? or prehaps an emptiness that was so empty that we have no exprerince to attempt to parralel it to?
Darkness is a creation. It's a creation of infinite potential and limited existance. The potential to create light is the greatest gift for light is life and liveliness and goodness and Godliness. Darkness itself is limited to the extremes of light. Only where light does not shine is darkness found. That is precisely why the true source of Ohr is the darkness that precedes it. In the Essence there is no emination nor creation therefore no light therefore darkness.
Atmut is already after the tzimtzum, during which the Ohr went through numerous contractions, expansions and eminations. The topic dealt with above is well before Hishtalshulut.

A Ray of Darkness
Darkness begins where light leaves off
The light is infinite
Darkness never begins
Which came first?
The chicken or the egg?
Light or darkness?
The lack of light is darkness
The source of light is darkness
The source of darkness is light
Can you see the dark?
Or are you not seeing the light?
Are light and darkness one?
