Bought my dad one of these headlamps a few years back and paid significantly more for it but worth every penny.
This seems a good deal for a decent branded CREE LED headlamp and a pocket torch. Cheapest I could find just the headlamp was £40 without the P3.

EDIT: I'm a bit drunk so never mind the epic below! I have a knock off H7R.2 which is pricier so yes this probably is legit. Left the original comment below anyway as some of it still applies.
Check it's real once you get it. There will be a serial on the top of the lens casing. Email it to LED Lenser in the UK (address is on their small UK site). They can email you back quickly and tell you if it's legit.
I bought one cheap few months ago as I needed something more powerful than my Tikka for a trip (paid more than this) and got suspicious when the battery casing was a bit... just a bit not right. LED Lenser said it was fake!
I still have it. Works just like the real thing - all the functions (tested every mode), battery life etc, all fab. Just one feature doesn't work and that's the dial on the front of the lens. Scary how good knock-offs can be these days.
If it wasn't for the battery casing being a tad off I'd never have known. The dial on the front lens I didn't think to try it until a month later (I knew it was fake by this point anyway). The sellers may not even know they've got fakes.
FWIW - I 'waterproofed' mine with black electrical tape. Weird how they make head torches that aren't fully waterproof. If I was in charge that'd be standard on all models.

Excellent find, by far the best head torch I've ever owned over the past 15 years of expeditions. Bought this a couple of years ago for just over £40 and it still out performs much more expensive torches my friends own. Charge is great, as is the distance the main beam can shine to.
I have five Lenser torches and have bought three as presents for other people - conventional torches literally do not hold a candle to them. My H7 has a beam range of about 200m and I am impressed with the P3's focus every time I use it - a torch which is about 4" long, takes a single AAA battery and outshines everything which was around just a few years ago.
Not only that but Lenser's customer service is exemplary.
I paid about £35 for my H7 alone so this is a great deal.
