  • the operating device 1 and the communication adapter 5, 7 or the component 6 are arranged in a lamp or the operating device is arranged in a lamp and the adapters or components near the lamp.
  • an operating device can be provided that can only be connected to different bus protocols using different adapters (LUXMATE bus, LON, EIB, ILB, etc.), so that fewer variants of an operating device have to be manufactured.
  • Different, flexible luminaire configurations can be implemented using a basic control gear and various communication standards as well as standards for sensors and interfaces can be easily supported.
  • FIG. 3 An operating device 1 'is shown by way of example with a communication adapter 5 (for a wire-bound, preferably digital light management system, for example DALI, DSI or DMX) and a communication adapter 7 (RF, for example for wireless communication), electrical supply to the operating device taking place as an example, inductively .
  • a communication adapter 5 for a wire-bound, preferably digital light management system, for example DALI, DSI or DMX
  • RF for example for wireless communication
  • a mobile terminal 10 that also communicates with the operating device 1, 1 ', preferably via a separate communication interface and in particular wirelessly.
  • the mobile terminal 10 can also communicate wirelessly with the communication adapter 7.
  • the at least one illuminant can also be coupled wirelessly, for example inductively, to the operating device 1, 1 ′, and so the at least one illuminant can be supplied wirelessly.
  • the illuminant can, for example, also be arranged as an integral component in the operating device 1, 1 ', so that none Wireless power supply to the lamp must be required.
  • Communication between the operating device 1 'and the communication adapter 5 and the communication adapter 7 can take place, for example, using Bluetooth low energy (BTLE).
  • BTLE Bluetooth low energy
  • the wireless communication and wireless supply also reduce the wiring effort, which also reduces the susceptibility to errors.
  • An adaptation to new communication standards is therefore possible without substantial changes to the control gear, since only a communication adapter has to be adapted or configured accordingly.
  • the configuration according to the invention also enables the control gear to be supplemented subsequently by additional components or additional adapters, since additional functions can be retrofitted by means of the radio link.
  • the provision of a separate communication interface in the operating device for configuration or maintenance which is preferably based on a Bluetooth-based standard, enables access to the operating device without special devices, but in particular via common smartphones.
