I have few lights hanging from wall ceiling but they are hanging on its two wires (Live and neutral) with knots tied on its clip-hanger.

I have to cover those bare wires as it kills the entire aesthetic looks.
I'm hunting for something to cover the wires.
Like ready made lights from a designer shop which have the usual thick white hanging wire inside which (Live and neutral) wires house/are hidden, see as below:

Walked through few such shops but in my helpless city where businessman are very cunning and they simply refuse saying you wont find such stuff around etc.

Dont know whats the outer covering is called exactly in lighting/wiring lingo but unable to find it on amazon etc.

Need something like below, just wire cover or either the entire holder assembly if thats the last option but need something cheap.

You can get a glass sleeve, which is big enough to house the wires. And paint it to a color of your choice. It’s durable as well. However I can’t vouch for its weight holding capacity.
 
I'd prefer using flexible pvc pipe (available at Electrical shops) - either colored or cover with tape in zigzag manner ...

But seems they dont have thin/tiny ones easily but mostly those washbasin outlets ones.
 
Go to a local hardware shop and buy the cable that typically comes with a clothes Iron. I have replaced many damaged/worn out Iron wires using these, It's similar to one in the pics above. Alternatively, you also get colored sleeves, like the ones in sleeved PSU cable extensions. I don't know where to source them from and they will be slightly on the costlier side.

Yeah! Contact any manufacturer on India mart, look for PET sleeving (I used 4mm ones for PSU Sleeved extension cables)

Not sure how straight it would stretch since you require it to hang down, but I have previously used tubing from water purifiers as wire sleeves. You also get various connectors that help keep things neat. Aesthetics should be hit or miss though - since I don't think you get too many colour choices.
