Best Answer

Flash lights in general use what is called a paraboloid of revolution. This is the three dimensional shape you get when you take a two dimensional parabola and rotate it about its axis. This shape causes light that is coming from a single point and is traveling in many directions to be redirected into a single direction. The light bulb is at what is called the focus of the mirror.
