No.
A light bulb is not a change in and of itself but the process by which it gives off light is physical. While an electric current causes a given component of the bulb to glow (it may be the filament of an incandescent bulb or the vapor in a fluorescent one), but that substance does not change its chemical identity.
No, a light bulb is not a reversible change. When the filament inside the light bulb heats up and emits light, it undergoes a chemical change and cannot be easily reversed.
The reason why turning on a light bulb is a physical change is because there is a process of electrical energy being converted into light and heat. You still have the light bulb intact and no new substance is formed.
The glowing of an electric bulb is a physical change. This is because the light produced is a result of energy being converted into electromagnetic radiation, without any change in the chemical composition of the bulb's components.
Yes, a flashlight changes stored chemical energy into light energy when the battery powers the light bulb. The chemical energy in the battery is converted into electrical energy, which then powers the light bulb's filament to produce light.

To change a light bulb, first make sure the power is off. Unscrew the old bulb by turning it counterclockwise. Then, screw in the new bulb by turning it clockwise until it is secure. Turn the power back on to test the new bulb.

Physical change
Possible oxidation of the metallic filament with traces of oxygen existing in the light bulb.

The lightning of a bulb is a physical change because the transformation is reversible - the electricity passing through the filament causes it to heat up and emit light, but the filament itself remains the same material. A chemical change, on the other hand, involves a change in the chemical composition of the substance, which does not occur in this case.
To change a ceiling light bulb, first turn off the power to the light fixture. Use a ladder to reach the bulb, then carefully unscrew the old bulb and replace it with a new one of the same type. Make sure the new bulb is securely in place before turning the power back on.
Unscrew the bulb by turning it coumterclockwise and it will come out of the assembly.
