Luminaire system facilitating modular enhancement

A method of modifying functionality of a native luminaire, comprising:

• interposing a module base between a native luminaire and a power source so that an input interface of the module base is electrically coupled to the power source and an output interface of the module base is electrically coupled to a native electrical structure of the native luminaire, the native luminaire having a luminaire body defining a lighting mount configured to support a lighting element, the native electrical structure configured to communicate electricity to the lighting mount;
• coupling a first module to the module base, wherein coupling the first module to the module base comprises engaging the input interface of the module base with a module input interface of the first module and engaging the output interface of the module base with a module output interface of the first module so that electricity is communicated from the power source to a first module electrical structure, the first module electrical structure configured to provide power to a module processor unit and a peripheral functional structure;
• the peripheral functional structure obtaining peripheral data and communicating the peripheral data to the module processing unit;
• the module processing unit analyzing the peripheral data and selecting a control routine based on the analysis;
• and
• the module processing unit controlling a power conditioning structure of the module to adjust an output power communicated to the module output interface in accordance with the selected control routine.
