When you say "LSA" are you referring to the generic description in Part 1.1? If so, then it depends on how the aircraft was certificated. Generally, its ok as long as they're equipped. The "official" answer for experimentals, is whatever the operating limits say (although most just say "no IFR unless properly equipped"). I won't bother looking up the limits for Primary category planes, since there aren't too many of those.

If you are specifically asking about SLSAs certificated under 21.190, there is no prohibition on IFR flight in 21.190. The Operating limits issued to SLSAs basically say "Yes, its ok as long as the plane is appropriately equipped AND the manufacture says its ok"
