[SML] replacement for Altman Spectra Star 100 RGBA

[Jon Ares]

Well, I *was* going to suggest you look at the Altman AP150 par - we
have a tonne of those, and they're nice, although they do have a lot
of light leak out the sides.  But I see Altman doesn't make those
anymore as well.

Side rant: why do some companies sort their products under "series"
names? I see since Altman moved to Colorado they have adopted new
family names such at Alpine Series, Aurora Series, Peak Series, but
that doesn't tell me where the PARs are, or the profiles, etc, etc....
not helpful, Altman. I have to click through every "series" to find a
light by type.   //End of rant.  (There's also a lot of dead links on
their site - and some crash and give Wordpress errors. I guess I had
more rant in me.)
