New Ceiling Light Fixture

Okay guys.. hoping someone can help me out here..

I'm in the middle of a remodel on my Bigfoot Truck Camper. I've successfully replaced all the old "dome style" ceiling lights with flush mount 12V LED ceiling lights (I ordered the Dream Lighting from Amazon). I also replaced the dome lights under the cabinet with light bars (again, I used Dream Lighting + a longer bar from a company called Glowback LED).

Now.. I would really like to replace one of the dome lights above my dinette with a nicer chandelier type of lighting fixture, as this is the focal light in the camper. I also want to replace the bedroom sconces with something nicer. I'm having a very difficult time finding nice 12V lighting fixtures. The selection is limited, expensive, and UGLY!

My question is.. is there any way to replace the lights with a regular house chandelier like the type sold at lamps plus, etc... I realize those lights are built for homes (120V AC) and my camper is wired for 12V DC. But surely there is a way I can make it work. I've seen it done in other campers.. I just have no idea how. Do I need some kind of converter? Do I need a special bulb adapter? I'm so confused. Hoping someone can answer this.

Typical home fixtures have "Edison" sockets, standard size is "E27".. There are some 12V LED bulbs which are designed for use in E27 sockets..

One example HERE (note, I have NEVER tried or used this brand, it is what came up in my search so I cannot guarantee quality)..

The smaller sockets used in home lighting you may run into are "candelabra" size, they are "E12" size..

You might have a difficult time finding these in 12V, pretty limited from what I can tell..

HERE is one example I found..

I did find an interesting E27 adapter to G4 pin style bulb that might be helpful..

E27 to G4 PINwith this adapter you can find a lot of 12V LED bulbs..

Good luck!
