Electric actuator system preferably for furniture, especially beds such as hospital, care or domestic beds comprising at least one actuator (6, 7 21) for bringing about the adjustment of the article of furniture, a mains-based power supply (26, 31) and typically also a rechargeable battery pack, a controller (2532), at least one operating unit (14, 29) and an orientation light (16). The actuator system is equipped with at least one socket (15) for a plug, and the orientation light (16) is designed as a separate unit with a plug (17) for cooperation with the socket (15) or one of the sockets in the actuator system. Hereby, a simplification of the structure of the actuator system and great flexibility with regard to equipping the actuator system with an orientation light (16) is achieved. Further, it becomes simple to replace the orientation light (16) in case it breaks or a different light intensity or color is desired.
