There is really no good reason to change from the factory incadescent bulb to a LED other than wasting your money AND you will have to defeat a safety item to do that anyways (LEDS DO FAIL, if you don't believe me I HAVE a failed set of $60 Bargman trailer tail lights laying around).
Maybe he likes the instant-on /-off responsiveness of LEDs ... I do. That and the fact that the Bergman assemblies are more monsoon-resistant than the sometimes El cheapo lens assemblies that come with some trailers, and which allow water ingress which then shatters incandescent bulbs and you have no clue but keep driving for 3 hours in the driving rain ... don't ask me how I know.
