The biggest problem with things like this is that the casing, battery and light are so big your keys no longer lay flat making your key ring bulge in your pocket. I?d like to see something like this only make the key itself the light. Just put a core tube of plastic down the center of the key. Or make the key itself out of a sturdy clear plastic. You may need to replace the key every few years but a plastic key would still work. Then just have the battery sit in the end. With a small profile battery and the LED built into the key itself the key would be much nicer to have on your key ring. Heck, they could even make them all one thing and sell them for 50 cents or something. Just pick out one and get it cut, when it dies go get another. It?d be good for locksmiths too!
