Here are the results of 2 lights that I bought. Spoiler Alert, I like these a lot.
Each LED pad swings up and down allowing you to set the pad at whatever angle you want. Being aluminum allows this capability and it felt very solid doing so. The other lights all seemed to be plastic so the angles were fixed at 0-45-90 degrees.
You can see in the picture below that the left pad is aimed at the middle of the layout. The right one goes out a little to hit the edge of the layout. The other two point in a little to avoid light running off the table. Cool feature.

The color is configurable from 3000K to 6500k. 3000k is a nice light while running trains or working on the layout. 6500K is considered “daylight”. It’s very blue and harsh. It would only be daylight if my townspeople were getting attacked with lasers from alien spacecraft.
With the color at 3000k, you can set the dim from 10% to 100% (no dim). 100% is a sunny day and 10% is dusk. You can run trains starting at noon and ending at dusk.

App
There are remotes that come with the lights. I downloaded an app so I can run them on my phone. Syncing was fast and easy. From downloading the app to syncing the lights took 3 minutes.
The app allows you to set the color and dimming with either a gradiant component to fine tune it (4300K @ 72% dim) or push button settings, 3000k, 5000k or 6500k.

All in all this was a nice upgrade and well worth the $60. Plus my wife agrees! 😀 Thanks for everyones guidance on figurimg this out.
