Nothing unusual in that. Inward-bound from China, there are a lot of small manufacturers who can't communicate in English and who don't understand our culture, so there's always room for agents to sell for them.
FK what that's for, that particular seller seems to list all sorts of oddities, many of which are mis-described.
It reminds me of an old fashioned jelly mould .

It is pretty good value, and it does work, although the colour fringing is pretty terrible - but this can be mitigated in PP. But, as discussed in another thread, these focussing spotlights eat lighting power, so you need to punch a lot of power through them to end up with something usable.

It isn't an "optical snoolt with color card", it's a pretty basic focussing spotlight with a small selection of gobos and a few colour gels.
Most of their other products have equally amusing mis-descriptions
As you know, I haven't tried the Lightblaster, but it's obvious from the design that this one is much better suited to studio heads. And yes, their "wide angle reflector" is in fact a spill kill - but let's not judge them too harshly, after all Bowens describe their standard reflectors as "spill kills"It's almost as if they got a load of stuff in and asked people to guess what it was for. Every reflector is a "spill kill" - except for the 120 degree wide angle, which probably is the closest they have to a spill kill...:-/
I have bought bits from them over the years - I like them most for wheels for your stands, and barn doors for small reflector dishes. They are ok - they stuff is cheap, but there's not a lot to go wrong with chunks of metal - not sure I'd buy a softbox from them. You also have to know what it is you are looking at before buying - because they don't
I looked at that spot projector too - it looks ok, but I couldn't figure out from the small picture what the gobo holder looks like. The diameter is much bigger than the Lightblaster, so it might make better use of the light from a studio head.

They don't in fact show the gobo holder, there's nothing to show really, it's just a pair of sort of guide rails rivetted in place at the front of the ventilated bit (which allows both heat and light to scatter)
