If you don't mind a little bit of extra effort, buy a 36" peice of 1/4" steel rod (not threaded) at your local Po (thats slang for Home De-Po). From both ends, simply ram the steel rod against each of the internal dividers (inside the bamboo) and they will break relatively easy. Then simply feed the electrical cord through the holes.

One more handy piece of advice. If you buy special lamp cord and manually add your plug to the end it will cost you twice as much than if you buy a 12-15' indoor extension cord and cut off the outlet end. The extension cord wire is just as good and the plug is already attached. A 9-12 footer only costs about $2 at the Po.
