Use a GlowRing keyring. It is permanently on, they glow using tritium gas rather using an LED. It isn't directional, and can't be used as a torch, but if it's truly dark it'll provide just enough light to see a lock, and of course keys can more easily be spotted in the dark depths of a handbag. Not cheap, they cost about a tenner each, but they will run for 10 years.

Given that they work on radioactive decay they don't actually die after 10 years. After 12 years they'll be half as bright as when they were new, after another 12 years they'll be half as bright again, and so on.

I just locate the keyhole by feel with one hand and insert the key with the other- if you can accurately touch your fingertips together with your eyes closed you shouldn't need to be able to see the keyhole.
