you can also get outlets that are for use with the channel stuff.....i have them in my house because my house has lath and plaster, which means trying to run conduit and a junction box is a pain in the ass and would require demolishing the wall to do it.....these outlets have a metal box and are attached to the outside face of the wall. the previous owners added them cause these old bungalows never had enough outlets in the rooms. you can get around code by changing the channelling to round metal conduit, steel junction boxes and then painting it to blend into the ceiling(if you are drawing power off the breaker,otherwise if you are just using channels to hide lamp cord it's not necessary)

and while you are covering them with bamboo half rounds (which is a good idea), try disguising the outlets with coconut half shells!
