Upgrading interior lighting

While at our local R.V. show this weekend we saw some new interior lighting and would like to get something like these. Does anybody know where I could find these, or something close to them?

Not sure where you can get them, and they do look nice, but....

We've been looking at new 5th wheels and have one secured. In that process we were looking at a GD? (maybe?), a HC and Montana that had those or something similar. The sales guy in GA touted how nice they looked and we thought we wanted them. Talked to the SERVICE mgr. in a FL dealership about them and he said they always found them broke. My sales guy in TX (where I ended up buying) advised against them for the same reason and had the SM (who I know well) to join in on a call and advise me on the direction of our purchase and avoiding those fixtures was on his list as well. Ours won't have them so just something to think about.

Thanks for the info! Our Raptor has this style light (hanging pendant lights) over the sink and I’ve replaced one of the lights already from breaking the pole at the top of the fixture, so I guess things haven’t changed with these.

As with most anything, there is a "great design", "great execution of that design" and a "poor execution of that design"....

It seems that even though there are some "excellent pendant light fixtures available, unfortunately, ALL of them are "beyond the low cost bidders" and not found in RV's.

China just hasn't yet mastered the "great execution" portion of the "great design"....

I can't remember when I last walked in a "used trailer with pendant lights" that didn't have a broken globe or a snapped stem. Seems they look pretty until they get towed and used, then they get replaced a couple times followed by either taking the globes off or replacing the fixture with one that doesn't "hang on stems"......
