There are already plenty of lighting control scripts for XBMC but they do not have a common API or GUI interface in all skins.

So maybe this peripheral manager could be the shared interface the settings of those type of light control devices as well?
I can recommend TellStick from Telldus Technologies which could be used as a reference device since it support most recovers.

This lighting control is not the same as for Ambilight/AmBX/Atmolight controller device, although that would be very cool too
Another idea is to move the support for external LCD/VFD control settings to peripheral manager, as kind-of relates to remotes.
Other suggestion is for PVR interaction that I think was already asked for here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=109387
