If the current drops the filament temperature drops and consequently resistance, cause it depends on temperature in a bulb with metal filament (tungsten typically). This only could happen if voltage drops too!, and don’t use Ohms law!
You need to resolve these:
k⋅tc⋅dTdt=I2⋅R−k⋅Tk⋅tc⋅dTdt=I2⋅R−k⋅T
R=R0⋅(1+α⋅T)R=R0⋅(1+α⋅T)
Or a more detailed heat transfer model.
Or look for a table of typical values for a light bulb in internet,… for a current drop to 98% voltage drops to 96% aprox, so power drops 6%
