From what I've heard from Innovation First and FIRST in the past, the +5V available on the joystick ports is a very low amperage, intended only for the potentiometers within the joysticks or in a custom control box/arm/whatever...the concern was that the amperage was not high enough to reliably power the lights within a lighted switch. However, you do have the LED driver pins in two of the ports that you can wire a LED to if you want to have a software-controlled light on your operator controls...
