Joe--

 One answer would be pulling dome lights out of autos at a wrecking yard.
Another choice is RV lighting. Campers Choice 1-800-833-6713 will send you a
catalogue which includes 12V light fixtures including one decorative ceiling
light my mom would put in her living room (if she had a 12V system). There are
less decorative lights as well. And I assume any RV or boat store should have
options.

Campers World is another catalogue option for RV lighting. They have an 800
number and are in Littleton or maybe Wheatridge, CO near Denver. And JC
Whitney in LaSalle, IL has an RV catalogue that I think has lighting options
312-431-6102.

For those who need camping options, I use a Coleman fluorescent lantern in the
bus. It runs on 4 or 6 "D" cell batteries. I only use this type inside,
because outside the bus this particular latern fills up with bugs in about 3
seconds. Then, you don't want to bring it back inside.

Usual disclaimers. But I did buy one of those blue "D" cell battery powered
fans from Campers World to circulate cold air inside my refrigerator. And that
thing works like a charm.

Hope this helps
