Finding good lighting is always a challenge but not impossible. I've used Chrysolite kits in the past, and I like their adaptability even if they are more old fashioned in design.

This is one of the two Zenith Hanging Lamp kits I'm using for my project. I changed the lamps to pendants with aluminum tubing. I used 3mm LED bulbs from Evan Designs since there is no way to make the bulbs changeable and LEDs last longer. I chose separating LEDs so I could feed the new wires through the tubes but still have these connected to the 12V system. I spray painted the pieces a darker gunmetal color to replace the factory brass paint finish before the final assembly.

The 3mm LEDs look like true bulbs as well.
