I would be careful -> avoid coiling low voltage with high voltage mains.
  My concern is that you would end up with something akin to a (poor)
transformer of sorts.  Wherein the high voltage mains would couple onto
the low voltage lines.  At a 1:1 ratio, you'd end up with the same high
voltage on the low voltage secondary side.

I don't know how many loops on a coil would be needed for this to be
noticeable.
