New enclosed car trailer; back up light ideas

I have owned 20 enclosed trailers and never had backup lights, why do you even need them? If it is true that they are mandatory now why is it? My 2015 24' trailer does not have them, never saw a need...
Back up tight at night- hotel parking area or like at my shop I have very specific parking. And no pole lights at night- scares the boogie man away. Lol!
