USB can provide up to 5v @ 500mA power to each socket, for the purpose of
driving peripherals.
You can't draw more than 10mA or so from a MIDI socket, and you're not
strictly supposed to take more than 5mA.
I'm not sure how much power an LED light needs - maybe it could work...
The older style incandescent gooseneck lights need 12v I think.
Adding the extra load to the P3s voltage regulator might not be a great idea
either.
You could take always take feed from the DC input and drive a light
separately.
