Found this a couple of days ago and thought I'd share:

It's in German only but the images are self explanatory I think.
Personally I have a D Cell Mag Lite with an LED "unit" (whatever the correct term is) and my cousin has a Petzl LED and Led Lenser headlamp, so I was able to compare it live.
You just have a clear cut bluish, perfectly round white spot with a little halo around (depending on how you set the plastic lens-block). If anything, the center is slightly brighter than the outer, which is exactly the opposite to a maglite.
The difference is honestly staggering.
