Probably not even close to 200mw. I would guess maybe 100mw and you need to be able to focus for proper burning. Let me guess it was about 30 bucks form china site? And is also looks like this?

Unless you forked over $150-$250 , then it's nowhere near 200mW.

2x AAA pen cannot hold the 200mW power because of technical reasons too, one being the ability to deliver current from AAA batteries, which are unable to provide suficient juice.

Also, I don't think you deserved all this negative reputation only with some thread title. I'll correct some of that.

Giving the fact that these lasers are not focusable, they can't burn at any distance if they can burn at all. If it can burn a match, it can burn it when the match is in its focal point. Therefore, you have to find that point (distance) by trial and error.
