How does mw rating effect battery life?

Does a 200mw laser actually use twice as much power as a 100mw?

Is there a "sweet spot" for brightness vs battery longevity? I'm not interested in burning, just keeping brightness for as long as possible.

Or does all this depend on the kind of laser (i.e. green behaves differently than red, etc).

In any case, i'd love to hear anyone's recommendations or findings on this subject.

The power rating is the output power rating. Input power determines run time and is different for different technologies.
