I have a L0D Q4 and E01 on my keys.
The L0D is bright enough for most things, tough, reliable, and the E01 is sort of a long running backup.

Thanks I looked at both the E01 is not as bright as i would like the L0d would work but what else is out there.

I keep a LOD Q4 with a 10440 on my keychain. Not bad having around 200 lumens coming out of a keychain AAA light. 
I also have a Liteflux LF2 SSC on there for something more practical.

well, you could consider getting the Fenix LD01 (which sits on my keychain) or if you want to go smaller, get a Lummi Raw or Wee. You could also go for a Muyschondt (hope i spelled that right) Aeon which is a CR123 sized light.
the smallest that i know of is the La Petite Killer by photonfanatic, i'm dying to get one but that is exactly what i will be doing if i do (so says my wife)

I don't know about brightest, but for smallest that isn't a squeeze style you might consider the SL Nano. I have a ton of keys on my chain and anything bigger is cumbersome. If I need more light than the Nano provides I usually have something else on me that will get the job done.
The batteries are easy to find online and cheap when bought in bulk.

There are lots of wonderful threads on this that are really worth a read for those interested.

But I will tell you that I love small lights the most and I carry a Fenix LD01 SS on my keychain every day.
Also, comparing the sizes of some of these lights:

Drake or Draco or Wee?

You all are great i think the wee it is what do you all think? to me it is the smallest with the most output correct me if im wrong
the la petite killer uses a nichia 5mm led so it isnt going to be massively bright. you can check out the sales thread here for more information.
I own a Raw NS and it can sit on my keychain too but it is a wee bit on the heavy side. I dont own a Wee but i think that it would be too small to operate one handed, which is why i switched out the Raw NS on my keychain for an LD01 which is easily operated one handed.

Wee is easy to operate one-handed--I swear! It's smooth as silk and, especially when it's attached to your keys, is easy to turn on and off with just a few short turns.
Go for Wee Ti, lighter than NS and durable. But of course, more expensive yet well worth it.

Several threads I've been involved with have concluded that, pound for pound (or ounce for ounce!) the Drake is probably the brightest. The Wee is a close second when you get the 100lm cool white model.
