How can you describe the process that causes electrical energy to be transformed into heat and light energy as a current flows in a lightbulb?

Electrical current in a light bulb causes the bulb element to heat up i2R and some heat gets to the level to excite the element electrons. The excited electrons radiate light when returning to normal levels.

What energy transformation takes place in a flashlight?

Battery (chemical energy) goes to the wires (electrical energy) which goes to the light bulb (thermal and electromagnetic energy. In the bulb of a traditional flashlight, electric current energy is transformed to heat and then partially to light, when the temperature of the filament in the bulb is sufficient. In an LED type flashlight, little heat is produced and more of the electrical current energy is transformed into light.
