Thanks, guys, for Your input! I think that I found acceptable solution, this seller has reasonably priced lasers and seems that they provide complete solution, which just needs to be connected to 12 VDC power: http://stores.ebay.com/electronictoysshop Their webpage: http://www.kalecnc.com/ With regards to laser efficiency, these are power consumption data for their 0,7W laser: Operating Current : 1100 mA Operating Voltage : 10 - 12 Vdc As You can see, it is below 10%.
