Abstract: The present invention provides an integrated power and control unit for use with a solid-state lighting device. The integrated power and control unit comprises a power input and a data input. The power input receives power from a power source, wherein this power is configured in a first power format and the data input receives control data from a control data source, wherein the control data is configured in a first data format. The integrated power and control unit further comprises a translation device coupled to the power input and the data input. The translation device is configured to convert the power in the first power format to power in a second power format and further configured to convert the control data in the first data format to control data in a second data format.
