1. A luminaire for mounting in a ceiling, comprising:
a downlight module comprising:
an inner surface,
a light emitting diode (LED) light source mechanically coupled to the inner surface of the downlight module, the LED light source comprising at least one first LED that emits a first light of a first color temperature and at least one second LED that emits a second light of a second color temperature such that the LED light source provides a combined output light having a color temperature between 2500 and 5000 Kelvin,
a pair of mounting devices coupled to the downlight module on opposing sides of the downlight module, wherein the pair of mounting devices are configured to hold the downlight module above the ceiling and wherein the pair of mounting devices are mounted to an outside of the downlight module proximate to a light emitting opening of the downlight module;
a driver electrically coupled to the LED light source, wherein the driver is remotely located from the downlight module;
an adapter comprising a plug connector at one end of the adapter, wherein the plug connector is configured to electrically couple to the driver; and
a complementary connector attached to the driver and wherein the plug connector is configured to releasably attach to the complementary connector.
