Unfortunately, you already shot down the suggestions of the Tank007 (SSC or Cree). They're just so small! They rival my 1xAAA Dorcys.
But I could see how they wouldn't show stains well.
Sooooo..
How about an Ultrafire A3??? It's a tad long, but is EXTREMELY light. It also has a nice and 'grippy' feel to it. It also has 2 holes in the tail for a small ring to attach to a keychain - and even with that it will still tailstand if that's important.
Check it out here ($15.71 as of this post):

It was one of the oddballs I ordered, but I'm really starting to like the feel of it quite a bit - more and more as time goes by. It seems to be quite easy to turn on despite that it's a reverse clicky - due to it's nice grippy characteristics. It also has a nice hotspot with a nice white tint and would be bright&wide enough to check for stains - yet it's not overly bright. (of course, brightness is always subjective and depends on the battery being used.)
YMMV though.
