1. A lighting fixture comprising:

  • a light-emitting diode (LED) light source that outputs light for general illumination in response to a drive signal and is configured such that the light for general illumination illuminates an area;

    a driver module configured to provide the drive signal in response to an intelligent lighting module (ILM) instruction; and

    a first ILM that is separate from the driver module and comprises;

    a first plurality of sensors that comprises at least two different types of sensors, wherein at least one of the first plurality of sensors is exposed to the area when the lighting fixture is installed;

    a first communication interface;

    a second communication interface; and

    first control circuitry communicatively coupled with the first plurality of sensors, the first communication interface, and the second communication interface, and configured to;

    communicate with at least one remote entity via the first communication interface;

    generate the ILM instruction based on sensor data gathered from the first plurality of sensors; and

    provide the ILM instruction to the driver module via the second communication interface, wherein the light for general illumination is controlled by the first ILM, and communications between the lighting fixture and the at least one remote entity are facilitated by the first ILM.
