I was just wondering if the common electric bulb with a coiled filament have any appreciable inductance to reduce the current flowing through it?

No, at 50/60Hz you would need a large value of inductance to make any difference. Only some light bulbs coiled filaments - many are just straight, presumably it's done to get more wire in the same space?.
