1. A luminaire driver system comprising:
a driver having a driver housing with output connections for connection to at least one light source, wherein the driver comprises a driver circuitry arranged in said driver housing, said driver circuitry being configured to perform a driving functionality of the at least one light source, and wherein said driver housing is provided with a receiving means configured for receiving a pluggable surge protection module, such that the pluggable surge protection module can be received from outside of the driver housing; and
the surge protection module comprising surge protection circuitry,
wherein at least one of the surge protection module and the receiving means is configured such that the surge protection circuitry is connectable to a power supply and such that the surge protection circuitry is electrically connected to the driver circuitry, when the surge protection module is received in the receiving means, and
wherein the surge protection module is provided with at least two power input terminals for direct connection to a power supply outside of the driver housing, such that power from the power supply is provided directly to the surge protection module, outside of the driver housing.
