I haven't heard of LED Lenser before, but their website is here - http://www.ledlenser.com/ENG/startseite_1024.php

Think they are German?  Also found a few reviews on Amazon which might help you make up your mind, although I wasn't sure exactly which one was yours!

Can't vouch for the head torches, but after buying one after following a thread in another forum, I've started replacing all my (rather old and battered) maglights with Ledlensers. Excellent torches, the P3 is only a tenner in Amazon at the moment, small but seriously bright. (video review (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olbSMOqnxEs&NR=1))

thats a good kit review on youtube, bit concerned when he was describing the P4 and said "very comfortable in the hand, a nice pen size, i quite enjoy that"  :o

still think i'll but one though

the led lenser stuff is awesome! Unbelievably bright, super white and crisp. Have you used it yet? I doubt you'll be disappointed!

The led lenser stuff is class, my brother managed to "borrow" two head torches while he was survaying a mains water pipe in England and they are fantastic. Their hand held versions are also brilliant. Many of their torches come with gun mounts and can be used for lamping bunnies etc.
