I know a lot of you have flashlights just in case for an emergency, but that isn't really what you need. A spotlight it something that will help you out in an emergency much better than an ordinary flashlight. Here are the reasons why:
First, an ordinary flashlight just isn't that strong. Practically having it on for 10 minutes will cause it to dim significantly. Often times the flashlight will be pretty weak by the time an emergency rolls around and you're stuck with nothing.
Secondly, you're not getting a decent beam of light out of it. A lot of those LED lights are great and long lasting, but they don't provide a lot of light over a distance. If you're on a boat and looking for something in the water at night an LED flashlight isn't going to help you.
Spotlights are the way to go because they work well. They provide very bright light and it will provide it for a long period of time. The great thing about these types of lights is that they come with a very powerful lithium battery. This means that you can charge it up and it's not going to lose any charge while it is sitting in a cupboard not being used.
