If the airplane light-sport aircraft is properly equipped, and the pilot has a private pilot rating, it can be flown at night. Also, if the airplane light-sport aircraft is properly equipped, and the pilot has a private pilot instrument rating, it can be flown in IFR conditions by instruments.
The term pilot's license in this context is a bit misleading - you can pilot an aircraft as a Sport Pilot with as little as 20 hours of training. This is a relatively new category of pilot that is very restrictive - no passengers, day flight only, in very light, specifically designated sport aircraft.
