A spotlight has a narrow beam that concentrates light on a small area. A floodlight is built so that the light spreads over a wide area. With a spotlight you will see things further away in front of you however it will leave everything beside you in the dark with a floodlight the reverse is the case.

What is the structure also known as the blind spot?

The blind spot is the part of the eye where the optic nerve leaves the eye. There are no light receptors so that is why it is called the blind spot.The spot is called the optic disc, or optic nerve head. Whatever part of your field of vision that falls upon this small spot will not be transmitted to the brain as part of the image. Fortunately for us, where two healthy eyes are functioning, the blind spot of each eye is compensated for by the other eye. There are quick and easy demonstrations of the blind spot that can be very dramatic for first-timers. What you 'perceive' at the blind spot is what the brain literally fills in. The spot seems to take on the general texture and color of whatever is around it. There is no perception of a 'black spot', or an empty space, since these would have to be detected visually.

No, flood lights do not use more energy. If the wattage is the same between a flood and a spot light, it is the wattage used that you pay for.
