A light bulb and a flashlight are the same basically. However if you`ve ever looked at the front of a flashlight ( dont do this when its on) you will see that the front is mirrored. So a does actually shine light in all directions but the mirrors reflect the light so as to send it forward where as the light from a light bulb is unobstructed.
