You would need to check for other lights on the same circuit or switch, but it would seem to me that you have power coming into the box (black and white) and a power out going to another box or light. You would use wire nuts to connect the black and white wires from your floodlight to the existing ones.

You would measure what current you are drawing now and add the additional requirement for floods and that total current should be 80% of the value of the breaker protecting the lighting circuit.

How do you add another porch light to an existing switch?
Piggyback off the box for the existing light. Run a wire from the existing junction box to a new junction box (which is placed wherever you want the new fixture). Then, in the existing box, connect the wire coming from the switch, the wire for the existing fixture, and the wire for the new fixture together using wire nuts. Wire up the new fixture, and presto, you have two fixtures on a switch where there was only one before.
Do flood lights use more energy?
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. It is the lens of the bulb that determines the light output pattern. A smooth surface will give a flood pattern where as a spot has a lens that focuses the light into a central location. A reflector flood has a silvered interior to direct the light outwards on to an object.
