That's cool.  I didn't know these little, adjustable LEDs were 
available.  The filters are also a nice touch.  I immediately started 
thinking of using 2 of them with an arrangement like this

It appears that the lights will tilt up/down but not rotate on their own 
support post.  The dual light bracket can tilt its arms inward but I've 
been trying to figure out if the mounting feet can also rotate.  That 
would allow rotating a light but without having to rotate the bracket.
