More Options (use only the ones you like):

It should be threaded through the lamp so that it will not be visible. (threaded through implies inside)

It should be threaded through the lamp to be less visible. (fewer words, clearer goal)

Combining the two sentences (all are fine):

The power cable runs along the outside of the table lamp. It should be threaded through the lamp to be less visible.

The power cable runs along the outside of the table lamp but it should be threaded through the lamp to be less visible. (but, a contrasting conjunction)

The power cable runs along the outside of the table lamp but it should be threaded through it to be less visible. (deleted repeated lamp and it)

The table lamp's power cable runs along the outside but should be threaded through it to be less visible. (shorter)

How I would say it:

The table lamp's power cable runs along its outside instead of being threaded through it, which would be less visible. (too many changes)
