Ledit auto-test est effectué automatiquement et indépendamment dans un mode d'analyse du luminaire (10), l'unité de commande (110) vérifiant le luminaire (10) pour la présence et/ou la fonctionnalité dudit au moins un autre élément (140). En fonction du résultat de vérification, et du type d'unité supplémentaire (140) vérifiée, l'unité de commande (110) commande les moyens d'éclairage (170) de telle sorte qu'une émission de lumière temporellement variable (171) signale le résultat de la vérification. En outre, des dispositifs de mesure (200, 210, 220) détectent le résultat de la vérification par mesure des paramètres de fonctionnement du luminaire (10) et présentent de préférence cette information au moyen d'un affichage (211, 221) du dispositif de mesure (200, 210, 220). L'invention concerne également un procédé qui consiste à vérifier le ou les autres éléments (140) et à commander les moyens d'éclairage (170) au moyen de l'unité de commande (110).
