What is the difference between LED spot light and LED flood light?

An LED spot light typically has a beam angle of 15 to 45 degrees. That narrow cone concentrates the light onto a specific point or small surface. You get strong, crisp shadows and high intensity at the center. An LED flood light spreads its beam from 60 degrees up to 120 degrees or more. It washes a broad area with softer, more even illumination. Put simply: a spot throws a tight punch; a flood lays down a wide blanket. The LED part just means you get that output without burning through power like halogens.

Which one you pick comes down to the job. Use a spot when you need to highlight a sign, a piece of art, a tree, or any single target from a distance. Use a flood for driveways, backyards, patios, security perimeters, or anywhere you want general visibility without a hard hotspot. A lot of people end up mixing both—one spot aimed at the garage door, a flood covering the walkway. Just check the manufacturer’s beam angle spec, not just the word “spot” or “flood.” Some cheap LEDs blur the lines, so trust the number, not the label.
