Use a small flashlight with a transparent redtape on it. Will not disturb people that much.
Set a custom function so that you autofocus with the AF-ON/* button only. Lamp on, focus with One Shot AF, release AF-ON, lamp off/in pocket, take picture. Since you only autofocus when pressing AF-ON, focus will not be disturbed by half-press whentaking the picture.
Canon's most recent AF will work down to -0.5 EV on all cameras except the 1D Mark III, where it goes down to -1 EV. That's it.
