Each light source is secured to one of the fixtures and is configured to direct light at yaw and pitch angles relative to the base plate. The drive mechanism is configured to rotate the first portions of each fixture about each respective yaw axis and to rotate the second portions of each fixture about each respective pitch axis to adjust yaw and pitch angles of each light source, respectively.
