Couldn't you replace the button with an illuminated one? The kind where

Not good for battery life even with a high effciency LED. It also
only indicates that the switch contacts made not that the ding-dong
ding-donged. Especially with an high effciency LED that'll light
quite brightly on only a mA or so.
