I want to put some jelly mould lights under the gunnels and as the boat is already all fitted out I can't hide the wires.
I don't like conduit.
I wondered about copper pipe with the copper being one conductor and a wire down the middle.
Or is there some sort of double sided tape "conduit". Doesn't need to be thick wire as its only a few feet feeding 10w filament bulbs.
I just want it to look tidy and not be unsightly.

The second one looks OK. Thanks John.

If you have access to a router you can make some nice wooden ones of your choice.

Have you thought of using LED tape instead of your lights? Ideal for under the gunnels and gives a nice distributed light. You just need to connect them to 12v at one end of the tape. The tape is self-adhesive so it’s just a matter of sticking it on to a smooth surface.

I've done LED adhesive strips (5m) before on a number of occasions including with dimmers and I don't really like them to be honest. I like old fashioned boat lights individually switched as required.
for background lighting I find individual low wattage filament bulbs more relaxing than smd leds. My barge had 10 GU16 halogen down lighters for the main cabin when I bought it which I changed to LED then I put frosted glass jellymould diffusers over each one as I found the LEDs too bright.
I found a source of cheap horsebox lights which have nice glass lenses.
