Did you add any lights or a sky textured brush? What kind of lights, sky did you add? Which compile setting did you use?

In the worldspawn entity you should set the ambient light which is how light the darkest places in your map will be. Use a low value like 10 or so and use light ents to get most of your lighting. See the tuts for how to do this and how to chose the color of the ambient light as it must be set.
