Abstract: A modular lighting assembly includes two modular segments, each having a frame member. A coupler for forming an assembly, and an assembly formed by the coupler. In one example implementation, two members having abutment faces are drawn together using a coupler. Each of the members has a T having a T-shaped cross section, and the coupler has channel with a T-shaped cross section. The channel receives the ends of the rails. Each rail has an opening in its top face. Two screws are threaded into a back of the coupler and angled toward a center of the coupler, such that the ends of the screws engage sidewalls of the openings in the rails. As the screws are advanced into the coupler body, the ends of the screws are drawn together, drawing together the abutment faces of the two members. In other implementations, other rail and channel shapes may be used.
