Improved Luminaire Driver

A luminaire driver for driving a light module of a luminaire;

• said luminaire driver comprising:
• a driver housing with a first and second power supply input connector element for connection to an electrical distribution grid, and output connector elements for connection to the light module;
• and
• a driver circuitry arranged inside said driver housing, between said first and second power supply input connector elements and said output connector elements;
• wherein said driver housing is provided with an equipotential connecting part available at an external surface of said driver housing and intended for being connected to an equipotential part of the luminaire;
• said luminaire driver further comprising a resistive circuitry, a switching element and a control means for controlling said switching element, wherein said switching element is connected in series with the resistive circuitry, in a branch between the equipotential connecting part and the first power supply input connector element.
