Default Led RGB par can conversion

I stumbled upon this while searching for used par cans on ebay. I am not planning to but this, but i still think that this is an intersting concept. I personally think that it is cool.

I was also wondering what would be needed to make one of these?
any ideas suggestions will be appreciated

The issue with this is that the price of full finished led pars is now approaching this price point. I think this company is looking at a higher output led offering,

and I have also heard of someone who was looking at an idea to eliminate the ac power/transformer and simply run them all off
a 24 volt power supply, which makes for an interesting concept.

A freind of mine just applied for a patent on a design for LED Pars that run off a power supply similar to those used with color scrollers. You can have 80 par cans on one power supply, with full RGB mixing, all powered off a single 4 pin cable. He has a prototype with 4 pars which are bright, not as bright as a 1000w par 64, but at least as bright as the 500 watters.
