Electricity Question

The basement at my new house isn’t finished but it is (mostly) framed. Each room has a light switch and a light in the ceiling. What it doesn’t have is any electrical sockets. All of the light sockets/switches for the entire basement run off of a single breaker. (30 amp, IIRC.)

Can I run power to new sockets from the light switches, or do I need to add new breakers and run all the way from the panel?
