Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I have found the photon to be amazing, Really bright,iv had it about 3 years and its been dropped in water and all sorts, and only replaced the batteries once. i think mines was about £9.
At 1,99 dollar you'r paying to much. You might as well order 10 pieces for 4,68 dollar that is shipping included: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1253 (they are a lit slow in shipping though...
Carried LED fob light continuously for last 5/6 years - on keys etc.
Liked Innova a lot, but frequently found then switching on accidentally and dead when needed. Arguably this is a function of podgy thighs & stuffed pockets rather than design fault!
Used about half a dozen different brands and have to say favourite is the photon - happy to pay for something thats there when needed. Not convinced the 'singing and dancing' Freedom Photon et al worth while - but again agruably function of podgy fingers and zero co-ordination! But bog standard version works for me.
Going now to wander about bumping into things and contemplate podginess

Well I think the Fenix L0D CE is very good. It is a bit bigger then the AAA battery it uses. Might be too big for you, but I carry it at all times. It's actually still very very small and light.
Can be got at a good price at
http://fenix-store.com/index.php?cPath=22_49&osCsid=d2f1afcd9ba37d1f734a9b251036c5f0
because of the weak dollar and the free shipping
The Fenix E0 is cheaper but from what I've heard also very good quality.
A bit bigger the L1D and L2D are very good too... but you asked for a keychain light

The freebie one on the Christmas mag was great. Didn't cost a penny (on top of the mag cost) and is still going ok.
Is this any good to you;

can be had a little cheaper if you want ten of them. For some reason the LED on my freebie one fried so I stuck the LED from one of these in. Allsorts of lighty-up things on the site, might be worth a little bit a trawl.

My uncle works as a bus driver and they are supplied with a tiny (just a bit bigger than 50p piece) cat1 laser led light to check the water level on the late shift. extremely bright even more so than my maglite 
. I'll have a look next time he is around to find out the make but i think he can get them from the garage for next to nothing or at least find out where they purchase them from. I'll keep you posted
