Re: OI LEDs on the 5v Aux

This is for the operator interface. From the OI reference guide:

[1] The DISABLE dipswitch on the Operator Interface
[2] LED drivers provide 5V at 10mA
[3] +5V Aux is to be used for potentiometers in Joysticks and custom I/O boxes.
[4] Do not use +5V Aux for lamps or LEDs.
[5] The current limit of the +5V Aux from all 4 ports is about 100mA. The Aux Fault Led will start illumination when the current draw from the +5V Aux Outputs total about 120 mA and the +5V Aux voltage will have dropped to about 4.5 volts. Worse case, short condition: after about 30 seconds, the voltage will be at about 300 mV with a current of about 250 mA.
The reason I ask this is due to number 4. But this isn't stated in the rules themselves. Will doing this void a warranty or something else that I don't want to do?
