does this bulb shine like spot light spreading out like regular bulb ?

Unfortunately more like a spot light. I have 4 above my dining room table and you can see the 4 distinct spots they hit it.

This bulb looks different from the one I bought. It looks like it could be spot light, but it also looks like it could have a defuse on top to spread the light like a normal bulb. Its hard to tell. Buy it. Worst case scenario, fun Halloween decor.

Standard bulbs generally have a warm yellow tone, not this. This thing produces VERY bright white light. It will give your room a completely different look. We have one in our hallway and it's way too much for such a small area.

None that I am aware of at present. I installed my Full Spectrum Light Bulbs (ALZO 45W CFL) in light sockets without a globe or shade (not my original plan). Used in this fashion they throw a lot of light as long as you aren't too concerned about appearances. One is mounted horizontally and another vertically. Both have been in service since the beginning of this year without any problem.

The bulb is long and narrow fitting the entire length of the lamp. Spreads the light evenly and it also rotates on its stand which is very convenient. Mine gets a lot of use and never has been replaced.

This bulb is quite bright - I also use mine for close, small work. The light has to shine down directly on my project. The lamp I had this LED light in put the bulb shining up, and because the sheath and base covers about 2/3's of the bulb, not enough light was shining down on my project. Once I moved the bulb to a more versatile lamp, the light was as bright as I needed.

Yes it does. That's the reason why I bought it, to extend the bulb so the light covers more area.

These are floods rather than spots. I have them in my kitchen ceiling, and they provide even lighting with no bright or dark spots. I have one by itself over the kitchen sink. It illuminates the sink and several feet of countertop on either side. So their beam angle is fairly diffuse.

This bulb is a spot light bulb, and all the light is focused upward. I have in a floor lamp and the shade is not illuminated.

Absolutely, the radiance of this Spot Light has an illumination that simply, Let you Light Shine...Star bright!

Well, since my bulbs are installed in a recessed can fixture, I can't vouch for light coming from the bottom; but light output is very much the same as normal incandescent. Instant on and dimmable as well.

It gets fairly warm, about the same as a conventional 60 watt bulb. It is rather huge and may not fit in place of a standard bulb. It is also very bright as it is the equivalent of a 300 watt conventional.

It does for us but we don't rely on it for our main lighting. We have 2 can lights & 2 4-gang fixtures in this bathroom. I wouldn't use it as my main light. The globe is frosted.

No it doesn't, it's eitther on or off. The area it lights is also limited--there is little spread beyond the actual fixture.

No, it goes from off, gradually and incrementally, to very bright. The dimmer settings promote a more soft and yellow light and the brighter settings are more white. We love the lamp and have two of them and may buy another for our other house.

Yes, but as I mentioned in a previous review, this is a very dim bulb. I do not recommend it unless you have little need for bright light. I would instead recommend putting the funds towards a new LED MagLite.
