I have been flying my 701, completed in November 2004, N987PD, at night as it meets the requirements of FAR 91.209. These are the GA requirements for VFR night flight aircraft. If you have registered your aircraft as GA experimental and it meets these requirements it can be flown at night regardless of your engine. It is an experimental aircraft. You may flight a GA aircraft as a light sport aircraft if it meets the requirements of a light sport aircraft and the FAA recognizes it as such. If you are a light sport pilot or flying with a private certification as a light sport pilot (non-current medical) you cannot legally fly the aircraft at night.
Insurance is limited by the policy, my current policy with Falcon does not prohibit my aircraft from being flown during night VRF conditions. I have a 912ULS in my 701.

Sec. 91.209 - Aircraft lights.
No person may:
(a) During the period from sunset to sunrise (or, in Alaska, during the period a prominent unlighted object cannot be seen from a distance of 3 statute miles or the sun is more than 6 degrees below the horizon) --
(1) Operate an aircraft unless it has lighted position lights;
(2) Park or move an aircraft in, or in dangerous proximity to, a night flight operations area of an airport unless the aircraft --
(i) Is clearly illuminated;
(ii) Has lighted position lights; or
(iii) is in an area that is marked by obstruction lights;
(3) Anchor an aircraft unless the aircraft --
(i) Has lighted anchor lights; or
(ii) Is in an area where anchor lights are not required on vessels; or
(b) Operate an aircraft that is equipped with an anticollision light system, unless it has lighted anticollision lights. However, the anticollision lights need not be lighted when the pilot-in-command determines that, because of operating conditions, it would be in the interest of safety to turn the lights off.
