I would like to implement a day/night cycle in a 2D game I am working on. How would I go about dimming everything in the scene, but in a way that Light2D sources would illuminate nearby objects? I tried using a CanvasLayer > ColorRect, and fading in and out the ColorRect, but that also dims the Light2D sources. Is there a different way to make this work?

I don’t have a definitive answer, but I would look into shaders.
