1. A modular frame assembly with modular lighting assemblies comprising:

  • a plurality of elongated modular structural frame profiles joined together at the ends thereof with corner connectors to form a support structure, each of the modular frame profiles having at least one longitudinal slot extending along the length of the profile and inwardly directed lips that slidably retain the at least one modular lighting assembly;

    at least one modular lighting assembly disposed within the at least one slot of at least one of the plurality of modular frame profiles, wherein the at least one modular lighting assembly comprises at least one illumination element mounted on a circuit board;

    a heat spreader mounted on the circuit board, wherein the heat spreader is configured to complement the profile of the at least one longitudinal slot so that the outer surface of the heat spreader is in close proximity to the interior walls of the at least one longitudinal slot;

    a power source electrically connected to the at least one modular lighting assembly to energize the at least one modular lighting assembly to provide visible radiation external to the modular frame assembly.
