Something I’ve wanted to do since forge was first introduced was to make a map in almost total darkness, with lights in certain areas. I think it could create a level of ambiance, and create a sense of confusion in exploration hard to get otherwise. I didn’t use Halo 5s forge much, so maybe you could do it there, but as far as I’m aware it’s not been done for a forge map, and I personally would like it.

It’s definitely doable in H5 but everything has to be just right.
There’s one part of my BoxBot map that’s completely dark and has emissive pieces and an open doorway but remains dark, but if you move one piece the wrong way it all becomes light again (either leakage or full light)
They’ll sometimes also behave differently in forge and customs.
You’ll have much better results doing it with a dark skybox to start with, mine’s in daylight so caused problems
If you look at my ‘Toon Toy Town 2d’ map 
(the trippy one) and do something like that it may work (it’s not dark but you’ll see it doesn’t matter what skybox).
sounds like a horror/derelict ambience one would go for, would be nice to do.
