1. A luminaire system comprising:
a light module with at least one light source;
a first peripheral interface device and a second peripheral interface device;
a first interface configured to receive first signals from the first peripheral interface device using a first protocol;
a second interface configured to send second signals to the second peripheral interface device using a second protocol, wherein the first protocol and the second protocol are different;
a transfer module configured to transfer first data content included in a first input signal received at the first interface and/or first processed data based on said first data content, to the second interface;
a control means configured to control the signaling between the first interface, the transfer module and the second interface such that, when said first input signal is received, a second output signal according to the second protocol is generated at said second interface, said second output signal including said first data content and/or said first processed data;
a driver comprising a driver housing with input connector elements for connection to a power supply and output connector elements for connection to the at least one light source; and
driver circuitry arranged in the driver housing and adapted to perform a driving functionality of the at least one light source,
wherein the driver circuitry is further configured to perform a driving functionality of the first and/or second peripheral interface device, and wherein the driver housing is further provided with output connector elements for connection to the first and/or second peripheral interface device.
