Jesus is God the Son. He declared, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness...' (John 8:20). So I'd say no, God didn't, and actually could not live in darkness. Light expels darkness, and Jesus is light. The light said to be created in Genesis 1 is another light, a light that can be extinguished. God is a different light altogether.
